I hooked up my RF power components to 2 of the channels, and now i have a 10" rockford P3, 2ohm dvc sub brideged to the other 2 channels, my problem is that the amp continues to clip on me, i dont need alot of power because its all in a pickup, But can someone pleaase tell me how to wire the sub because i think i might be doing it wrong. Thanks |
