With this setup being over 5 years old and acting like this, do you think it is worth it to bring it to a car audio shop for them to look at or do you think I should just buy a new subwoofer and amp setup? I guess this is just an opinion question...

They are 4 Ohm speakers. Just tested them with my multimeter. They are currently wired in parallel.

Hmm, maybe I am remembering incorrectly. I will multimeter what I have them wired to when I get home from work.

So basically, the amp is only capable of less than the RMS rating of the subwoofers? I guess to me this doesn't make sense that a company would sell the two paired together. Again I am new to this area.

Hmm, okay. I will try to wire them in series which should give a final load of 4 Ohms? So then my volt output on the speaker leads should be set to around 44V? I will give this a try once I get off work today.

So a few years back I bought a set of two 12" subs, an amp, and a sub box second-hand from a friend and over time, they have been working less and less. The amplifier is constantly going into protect mode if the volume knob is raised anything past audible level on the subs. After some research...
