And no the amp cant move from where it is now, it is screwed down.
Let me google that for you
Learn how to set gains with a digital multi-meter. Dont make me lmgtfy what that is either lol.
In short, your overdriving the amp forcing it to try and make power it cannot possibly dream of making, causing it to distort the signal and send that dirty clipped and distorted signal to the subs generating lots of heat on both subs and amp which leads to either longterm wear and tear or near immediate failure. In short, gains too high, you blow shit up. Turn them down and set them properly.
