well thanks.
i still dunno why people say my amp psu setup is wrong.
every guide ive found on the net (a lot) shows the exact same thing lmfao, not to mention it working twice before flawlessly.
and 2 people on this website i know of have done the same damn thing.

the science is what contradicts your setup. that wire is simply too small to safely run that amp. it may work for a while but it will not last and you risk destroying the psu and the amp.

i would of tied all the power wires together into 1 large wire.

this isn't correct.
it's not the same thing as hooking it up to a car battery.

I've said so many times.
Try googling it.
there is A LOT of people on the internet that show how they did tehres and they do the same thing.
are you saying every single one of them is wrong.

Put it in your car. Problem solved.

I'm not sure I'd even want my system in my room. Not to mention I couldn't fit my box anywhere practical.

amps=how much power a wire can handle
looks like 16 gauge wire so it can handle about 15 amps
amps=watts/voltage
well call the amp 400 watts

400/12=33.33

so you are trying to pull 33 amps through 15 amp wiring.

this is why you combine the wiring.

The PSU is good for 25 amps, not 15.
