MY SYSTEM WORKS GREAT NOW. THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING :)

Water Bear you are a freaking genius!!!!!! Lol I’ve spent hours yesterday changing amps, changing my fuse to another fuse, and redoing my wires and stayed with the same issue. I should’ve calmed down and thought to hook up the negative directly to the battery just to check if it works but I...

Thanks for the reply! I went ahead and did what Water Bear recommended just now and the amp powers on and ground is ground showing -63V and my power probe lights green! Amp is on and all leds!! Super happy but my question now is could I run my negative from the battery permanently?

I do get a big spark on my negative when I connect the battery cable to the amp. As for the battery I didn’t originally put it in the trunk it’s just how the car comes. I do have have a second battery under the hood but I believe that’s for the starter. So I’ll run the my negative directly to...

And with everything connected if I supply ground to the screw holding the ground wire into the amp everything works. I even changed ground location but for some reason I’m still getting voltage on my ground. Makes no sense to me

The ground spot is reading good ground with the probe. As soon as I connect the battery cable to the amp the ground shows 7volts. I’m probing the screws to hold the wires on the amp

Hopefully I’m posting in the right spot been awhile since I’ve been here. I’m installing a system in my 2008 S550 Benz. I’m using a Lc2i Pro to planet audio bb2400.1 amp. I have a good ground and fused battery connection. I test my ground with a power probe it shows ground and I test my battery...
