[QUOTE="tsenfw, post: 3537569, member: 581534"] First your ground wire should definately be the same size as the power wire. I'd do that first. Second, you're not setting your gain correctly. You should have all your EQ settings at 0. NO BASS BOOST. Try to keep your sub LEVEL at 0. If you must you can even turn your sub LEVEL up all the way but only if you need too. LEVEL is very different than bass boost so don't get them confused. Turn loudness off if you have it. After everything is 0 and your sub level is adjusted, THEN follow the directions to set your gain: [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=206371"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=206371[/URL] A dmm would be ideal, but you can do it by ear. I had a hard time doing it by ear two months ago and had to use a Digital multimeter. If you hear distortion you should back off the gain, you do not what the amp to start clipping (may be a reason it's shutting off) because that can destroy your subs and amp. [/QUOTE]
