I have had nothing but problem's with this amp. im using 2 gauge wire. i've read that this amp does not work well on 2 ohms which is what my sub is. statistics of amp below Details: * mono subwoofer amplifier * 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (900 watts x 1 at 2 ohms) * 1-ohm stable (no power ratings available) * CEA-2006 compliant * variable low-pass filter (50-200 Hz at 24 dB fd per octave) * bass boost (0-18 dB at 40 Hz ) * subsonic filter (15/25 Hz, 18 dB/octave ) * top-mounted controls * Class D design * speaker- and preamp-level inputs * preamp outputs * fuse rating: 30A x 2 * 4-gauge power and ground leads recommended -- wiring and hardware not included with amplifier * 14-7/8"W x 2-9/16"H x 11-1/2"D for the sub statistics Features: * 12" high powered SPL series sub * 3,000 watts peak (this is one of the loudest and best subs being sold on the entire internet) * 1000 Watts RMS Rated and Tested * Rated with true world power ratings!

Before shopping around for a new amp, check out your charging system first. Could be something with the alt. or battery...and also, just so you know, that amp is not stable at 1ohm. With that sub, i'd look into something like...... http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7917_--+CLOSEOUT--+--+Diamond+Audio+D5-1200. 1.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6336_Hifonics+BXi+1606D.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7444_JBL+GTO1201.1II.html Try lookin these up on ebay and see what you find. |
