yup, you killed them. send them back to alpine and tell them to install new ohms.

Probably clipping the amp into protection mode.

How do you have your gains set?

Is your vehicle on or off when this happens?

since that map is a 2 chan , i suspect u wired ur dual 4ohms sub to 2ohms to the amp & in bridged mode the amp can accept a 4ohm load (not lower) thats why ur amp is tripping off

if u can return ur sub get the 1222 model & wire it to 4ohms & u should get no more problems ...
