I was also shaking a lot. I'm ok though LOL. I wish I had time to mess with my other toys. Here is a photo of 2 of them.

Did you have the cover off and touch the internals or something? Assuming a monoblock design, 8,000w on even a 1ohm load requires around +/- 135vDC rails (270v total). That same power on 4ohms would require power rails around +/-260vDC (520v total). That can hurt!
Wow, over 1,000A on 12vDC battery power just for the 8kW amp! Must be one heck of a charging system! Makes my "old school" PPI 600w (sub) and 400w (mids/highs) system seem anemic by comparison.
Those look to be some high quality amps there. What brand? The PS section is larger than the actual amplifier section. Beefy transformers and capacitor bank...
