[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6865507, member: 576029"] you need to recognize that your connections are the most important part of your wiring. You need to get a proper ring terminal and battery terminal or you're just wasting your time and money buying larger amps. also know that the amp get's it's power from the ground (electricity flows negative to positive). So your grounds are of high concern. the big 3 is required for a sound system upgrade to be effective. you need to measure the voltage at your amp, and monitor the voltage at your battery with your system. you need to know what that voltage is, don't assume. knowing the voltage will help you know where to invest your money to get more output. verify you don't have your sub wiring messed up and you have proper terminals and connections between the amp and sub. again, connections are the most important part. take the time to do your connections correctly. visit this link outlining my power wiring in the engine bay: [URL="http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1806871&Main=214011#Post1806871"]http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1806871&Main=214011#Post1806871[/URL] see how i did my battery connections (and alt big 3). Notice the time I spend on my connections, to ensure they are solid and have low resistance. my build log (link in sig) has my power and ground wire connections. [/QUOTE]
