[QUOTE="jfink, post: 4748598, member: 595769"] yea.... i noticed that for the 1st. time about ten minutes ago......i think everyone gets the point now so i won't bother changing it. As for the wiring i was looking around to see what THE BIG 3 was and once i figured it out i might know another problem.....I relocated my battery to the trunk and have 2 guage power wire going to the front then to a distribution block from there it goes to the starter and fuse block. as for the ground, from the battery to the trunk, its just a 8 guage as well, maybe 6? definatly need to change that, but could the battery ground wire cause this effect or any real effect on a 360 watt system? Really in the end not too concerned, its never gone into protect and i only listen to it on average for 20-30 minutes at a time, at that point i am approaching my distination, just not for sure if i should be concerned because a buddy said that no amp should ever get hot, maybe warm if that. but i do have 2/0 gauge so i guess i can hook that up to the amp......no not really, too big a wire for the amp but i do have 4 guage power wire but the ground will still have to be 8 for now. but just to double check on settings: subwoofer setting all the way up but equalizer(for the lows) stayes flat. i got a pioneer HU so i have direct subwoofer controls, not just high, mid, low equalizer.
