Bottom line is that your gong to end up replacing your main power wire.  It is very easy to do and im sure that you could handle it yourself.  Go out and get yourself another 8 gauge power wire and that amp should work.  Just make sure that you are using the correct size power wire for the amp you are using.
If it is to loud, your to old.

I would suggest check your connections, just had that happen to a friend that was running to small of wire not too much smaller he was running 4awg and did not want any bigger cable anyhow it ended up being the connection at the battery and the fuse holder under the hood (but he thought it was the cable and he was going to get some new 4awg wire)....so again I would check your connections and make sure that they are good, I would cut off the end an make a new connection all the way around....

oh by the way who ever put his fuse holder on super glued the d*mn thing......I could not get if off, not even to check the fuse...a real winner

also if you dont have a dmm to check to see if the fuse holder is causing you trouble you can use a jumper wire to connect the two ends and see if you get a spark

just place a wire on both ends of the wires going into the fuse box you should get a spark there also ....

thanks :-) sorry if it was posted previously...

well i figured that pulling 40amps....so you are really gettin' close if you are running your cable 10-13ft  you need 6awg, 7-10ft  8, etc....

if your going to be getting any bigger of amp in the future? I would suggest the 4awg, i
