Re: amps not drawing power?
There's something screwed with the RCA cables. When I plug them in, my headunit overheats and restarts constantly. The back of it burned my pinky
 When I disconnected the cables, everything went back to normal. I'm replacing them with monster rca cables this weekend.

Re: amps not drawing power?
you may have pinched and shorted them to the chassis somewhere. Be careful where you run them and try to protect them when routing thru bare metal openings.

Re: amps not drawing power?
My only question would be, how am I getting current back to the trunk if it's shorted out?
Things just don't make any sense @_@

Re: amps not drawing power?
shorts can still give off current. because shorts don't open the circuit.

Re: amps not drawing power?
It'd still show the same current coming off the rca jacks as it would at the end of the rca cable (all the way in the back of the trunk)?

Re: amps not drawing power?
I just went to walmart and picked up some junk rca cables. Hooked those up and the subs are working now.
