i would defiantly say you have an issue with the pos, neg, or remote wires.... and i seriously dont think it has anything to do with how long the wires are at this point

all fixed and it was the lengh of the wires. shortened the power wire and now have 2 ohms going to it. Works great thanks for all the help

did you stick with the 8ga just wondering, I just finishing installing a jl 600w amp in my boat and had no issues at all running 15ft power cable and ground but I also used 2ga wire

yeah it was 8 gauge. So its under the back seat for now. Im sick of working on it it and well see how it goes. Maybe next year Ill move it back to the cabin and get some bigger gauge wire

good to hear.
Most people don't understand wire length is the major issue with DC power. Go big or go home.

yeah i gambled on the wire and it didnt work. So well see. If If I want to move it should only the ground wire be big or does both of them have to be

I would pull big wire for power and ground you can use a block and step it down to what ever size you need right before the amp that way if you ever want to run more amps you have the hard work already done, if there is any chance you will run more than one amp I would pull 0g wire then drop it down to 8 or 4 right before the amp

Both wires same AWG.

ok thanks yeah when I get back to working on it ill head to the depot and get some thick chit
