ok just put a kicker l7 4ohm with a kicker zx750.1 amp and when it hits the protection light blinks. i wired the + to + and - to - is that wired to to ohms or is it wrong?
 




If all checks out ok, and the amp is still clipping try beefing up the body ground at the battery by putting a 4 gauge cable between the negative post on the battery and the body of the car. this is very commonly overlooked

Factory grounds such the big one.:th_thumb-down:

That doesnt mean make your own... Use factory positions but make sure they're sanded down to bare metal etc.
 
With that kind of power you need to upgrade the ground under the hood and the alternator power wire. Or commonly known as "the big 3".
 


I did the actual "big 3" so an alternator to fuse relay, battery ground and a motor to chassis ground. Sorry for the dirty mess, and no i didn't have a ring terminal on the motor to ground wire.

even if you used a section of the existing wire but routed it the shorter route it'd be much better than stock. Also free :)
 
Oh yes, big time! The stock wiring is 8 gauge if im not wrong. 8 gauge is good for about 60 amps so and your alternator puts out over 100. I had some serious dimming issues before and now i have little if none.
 


Its the fact that the 8 gauge cable is 10 feet long.

If the 8 gauge cable was say a foot and a half, this wouldn't be an issue with our cars.
