I just got myself a SW8122.4 Eclipse Sub and RF T5002 amp. I am certain
both work well. But when i hooked it all up... things definitely were NOT
working right. When i had it bridged (putting roughly 1008 watts rms to
the sub) it was def too much power and I could see that there was
overexcursion (the sub was gettin sucked in really deep and staying
there). So i decided to hook it up to just one channel and run my sony
xplod to my other channel. To my dismay, there was barely any bass and my
xplod was just making a popping noise (i assume because it is an inferior
sub). Anyway, I was wondering if you could tell me what I should do to fix
my system. If there are any specific settings on my amp I should use.. ( i
tried a bunch). Any advice would be appreciated. Oh i have a 200a fuse by
the battery and a 100a fuse in the amp and i am running a zero gauge wire
kit. The power light definitely came on to the amp so I dont think power
is the problem... maybe my av cable?

Hmmm, what ohm is the Eclipse, and that amp won't put out 1000 watts bridged I think. It should put out 500 watts rms.

The amp puts out roughly 1000 watts rms bridged.. it got tested back at the rf place. Its a super powerful amp that is worth trying. Anyway, i belive my sub is a SVC 4 ohm. I opted for that over the DVC 4ohm+4ohm

The RF Power T5002 specs say that at 4 ohms bridged its only 300 watts rms. Did you do any thing to the amp?

Trust me... I'm not bashing that amp! I love RF, and click on my name and you'll see what I'm running.
I'm just saying what the amps specs say. What is the rms rating on that sub, and I wouldn't recomend running 2 different subs. Also what tipe of box is it in?

its inside a dual 12in eclosure. Each sub is isolated from the other... and yea, i disconnected the xplod, i was thinking it could be a problem because i am only using the right channel on the amp now, but i could just be retarded, the rms rating on the sub is 500 with a 1000 watt peak
