    Why does my sub sound like this?

    I have a DVC Rockford Fosgate P2 10 inch. It is being powered by a Kicker CX.400.1 Every time the bass hits, there's like a small rattle you can hear at the end of it. When I had the sub at an audio shop to adjust settings for my head unit, the worker said it sounded like a...

    Amp keeps cutting out sub after turning up volume.

    Did you ever figure it out, having a similar problem

    Sub is cutting in and out

    Just realized something, when the volume stays lower the sub remains powered. If I turn the gain higher than the volume can only be minimal for the sub to work. When the gain goes down the sub can remain on with slightly higher volume.

    Sub is cutting in and out

    It is a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. I am running a Kicker CXA 400.1 with 1 P2D2 Rockford Fosgate 10 inch at 1 ohm. The power and ground wire are both either 4 or 6 AWG. I have a group 34 battery.

    Sub is cutting in and out

    I doubt the amplifier is failing since it is brand new, and I tested the power with a DMM. It read 12.55 volts. Am I supposed to get 12 volts when I test the REM wire too? When I tried testing that I got 11.57. My amp still turns on though and the power light is green until the bass hits and...

    Sub is cutting in and out

    Hi guys, recently installed a new amp and my sub is cutting in and out. Meaning it'll hit for the first few seconds of a song but then suddenly cut out and not catch any bass. It'll come back for a second but then go out again. When this happens my amp's protect light comes on but as soon as it...

    1 ohm wiring question

    Looked into CT sounds and found more bad reviews than I'd like. What do you guys think about kicker amps? Specifically this one

    1 ohm wiring question

    What amps would you guys recommend for my setup? I am on a budget but don't want to get a POS amp.

    1 ohm wiring question

    This may be a dumb question so bear with me. I have one P2 10 inch rockford fosgate punch (300w-500w) which can be ran parallel at 1 ohm or in series at 4 ohm. I was running it in series with my Alpine MRV M500 which I think has blown it's circuit. I am in the market for a new amp, and am...

    A few novice questions I need help with and setup advice.

    It was wired as a parallel when I took it out of the enclosure. I connected the positive and negative on the speaker with a cable, and then hooked up the remaining cables to their respective positive or negative terminal to run it in a series. Mine was running at 1 ohm straight from factory...

    A few novice questions I need help with and setup advice.

    I think I figured it out. I am going to take the speaker out of the box, and rewire it to a 4 ohm load. The final question I would like to ask, is how much of a performance hit can I expect from this. Does this mean that my sub's wattage will now be as low as 75 RMS since it went from 300 RMS at...

    A few novice questions I need help with and setup advice.

    How would I do a bridged setup with a mono amp and only one sub? Also, I bought the 2 ohm speaker back when I purchased it. So would that mean that my DVC is 1ohm per coil to equal 2 instead of 2 ohm per coil to equal 4?

    A few novice questions I need help with and setup advice.

    Since I have already purchased the Alpine amp, do you think it would be a better idea to run a bridged setup with the amp I already bought, or should I try and get my money back for it and purchase a different amp able to run at 1 ohm load.

    A few novice questions I need help with and setup advice.

    I saw that in a review video on youtube of the amp, he must have been giving out false information. I have already purchased the amp so does this mean I must run the amp in series in order for it to be properly compatible with my sub?
