check your ground, power, and any other connections.

if those are fine then you are having serious voltage drop.

get a voltage meter and put it to your power and ground on the amp. now set the meter to dc and turn you system up. see what the voltage reads. if it reads above 12v then it is another problem.

im thinking voltage drop big time or something like that. like maybe he has his gain up to much and its causing it to skip because of bad clipping

mhh 800 watts anything for the speaks or that it cause i dont think that would cause it but then again it is @ 2 ohms which would cause a little more current draw. so i would look into a voltage drop otherwise check ur wires and the gain. or theres something wrong with how u wired it

ucheck your grounds... its 14v when the bass hits? check you HU ground too.... check your voltage at your amp not in your hood, and has the temperature changed drastically lately?

did you check the ohm load to your amp. maybe your subs are connected in an ohm load your amp can't handle. that will make your amp do that to.

my amp is 2 ohm stable thats waht i have the subs wired to. I dont think its the hu muddy because its a brand new pioneer 5800. IDK someone on a different forum said it could be a burnt trace in the rca's or sumthin like that

i changed my rca's twice, they still made the rumble. but its worth a try to upgrade the rcas, then if that doesnt work u'll be sure its the outputs...
