Where did you have the stuff installed from? Well another question
then....from your battery, how big is the wire that they installed for the
amp? Is it kinda small, or really really big, like around 1 in wide? Do
you know what I mean? if you have a really high gauge wire then that will
make all the difference in the world. I run three amps now... one
400watt, one 200watt, and a 100 watt, with a 90 amp fuse...so it draws 90
amps at full volume, and as long as the truck is running then it works
fine....but I have 1/0 gauge wire....the biggest and best you can buy...
See if you can figure out what gauge wire your using?
