If this is car wiring:

Wiring the power supply for an amplifier is the most often badly done portion of the install.

Many amps require huge power and need to be wired directly to the cars battery, many installers cause trouble at the battery by doing this poorly.

The connection at the battery must be made:

  • NOT USING BARE WIRE
  • Use a soldered on proper connector

At the amp use a proper soldered to the wire connector.

The ground to the wire to the amp must be the same size, connector type and connected to a good chassis ground.
