and what size alternator do u have?

if this is your sub amp// it is going to try and draw more power than the other amp.. and if its not gettin it power, then it may shut off while the other amp still works..

I'm actually using this amp to power my two way rear speakers and was using a kenwood 100X2 4ohms for my components up front. Even when I disconnect the kenwood the amp still doesn't work. At the time when this amp stopped working, I didn't have my component amp hooked up yet. THe components were not installed at that time.

I'm not sure if they are considered an authorized dealer. I actually owned the amp for over 1 year, but used it for less than three hours total. It's in my back up driving car. If it wasn't sold by an authorized dealer will the manufacture not cover the warranty?

THis is a public service anouncement to GAuntlet and LBX2G. You were absolutely correct. Since the amp was out of warranty I continued to do some tests on it. I hooked the amp up to a different power and ground wire and it worked. THen I tried it with the old ground wire I was using and it didn't work. I then tighten the ground pretty stinkin' tight and the amp works. Thanks guys. Wow. My system is loud. I don't even have my subs hooked up yet. I got planet audio componenets in the front hooked up to a kenwood amp getting 100X2 rms and two way planet audio speakers in the back hooked up to the lightning audio amp getting 100X2 rms. It is really loud with the volume only turned up half way. NO distortion. Now I just have to hook up my jbl bp600.1 amp to my subs. BOy it's going to sound pretty good, especially when I get a set of elemental k's in the summer. Once again thanks a lot guys. From now on I will make sure my grounds are really secure, I thought it was, but obviously it was not.
