Alright cool sounds smart, im gonna go with it. I'm just going to learn more about car audio before I go trying to put a whole system in. Appreciate the help.

That still wouldn't be enough to power the subs at a constant rate without the amp overpowering itself trying to produce that power right? Would that be why my battery level drops when the bass hits hard?

The reason I was going to buy a new amp before trying to figure out the problem was because the amp is only 160 watts at 4 omhs. Im not good at math but 275+275=550 and 550 is greater than 160. lol

The amp is from 2007 it is so old the numbers are starting to fade lol. So when my friend was setting the setting he was basing it off ear because yo can not see the numbers. EQ settings are not set high on my Head Unit, bass level is 0. And this is my amp not the one i posted JBL Grand...

Yea dude there is no gain control on my amp lol and boost is off.

So the sub is dead lol? I have a new amp coming should I just go ahead and buy some alpine speakers because that flapping is annoying lol

I have a 2001 Firebird. and a JBL Grand Touring Series GTO601.1 II amp. I used a 8gauge wire. My lights don't dim it's just my battery meter that goes with bass when up high. my amp is grounded at one of my tie downs in the back. (paint was removed first)

would replacing my alternator be cheaper?

Well today I noticed flapping coming from my right subwoofer. It still hits hard but when volume is up high their is this flapping noise like a paper hitting some air. I have 2 JBL gt5 10s. The box is closed but when I take the subwoofer out the box the flapping still continues. My amp is 425...

Alright I'm going to try that next, thanks.

UPDATE: I went and unplugged the RCA from my head unit and the left side still didn't work. So does that mean my speakers blew out?

Alright man lol I'm wondering myself but thank's, the amp is really old.

Ok i just went to go check my car. The RCA cables are plugged into the head unit ran through my car to the back of the amp RCA INPUT. The RCA cable has a built in turn on lead as well, don't know if that matters. Those are the only wires that connect the amp with the head unit. BUT when he was...

Yea RCA from the front to the back. Idk what's going on lol And yes I am running door speakers off the amp.

Do i need new wires probably?
