Connection Problems

[Kent535 25]

I Have everything connected to where its suppose to be connected

RCA Outputs from HU to imputs on amp

Pos battery to Pos amp

Neg Baterry to Neg amp

etc etc

When i hooked everything up and set the HU to a song all i get is a FULL Burp on my subs.

Like the amp is sending full 3000 Watts to it :/

I dont know why and its driving me crazzyyy

what do you think is the problem?

Neg batt to neg post on the amp??!!! WTF ?

I thought the neg batt should grounded to the frame of the car.

And the - on the amp to the frame too for a good ground.

Be careful. You seem to do it bad.

Negative from battery to the amp is fine. That may be the lowest resistance option.

Try hooking up a cd player or ipod to your amp and see if it exhibits the same behavior.

The only reason for grounding in the back near the amp is to minimize wire length and possible resistance. Remember that the negative terminal of the battery is grounded to the car's frame, and so is the metal you're grounding the amp to.
