First of all, learn to type correctly please. It is hard to read and understand when ya tipe like dis. Not trying to be mean, just giving some advice. As far as the amp problem, I would get a different amp. Preferrably something name brand and not Sony, Jensen, etc.
o.k realy sorry about the typing wrong would an Alpine do it's a 4 channel amp. im don't now much about amps and that just want sum advise which amp would be best.
if the amp goes into protection at higher volumes, turn down the gain on your sub amp. when the gain is set too high, the amplifier will enter hard clipping as the input stage of the amp is over-driven. This will cause the amp to enter protection (thermal) to protect the speakers from damage.
If the system isn't loud enough, it just means you need a bigger amp. don't try to compensate by increasing the gain to get more volume. You'll just damage the speakers in the process.
o.k that realy worked my amp doesn't turn of now i put the gain on my amp down thanks alot every one for helping and giving me advise this forum realy helped out big time. if i have any other problem i let you nows.
