You can see the obvious bass playing as it should but the speaker, behind the music almost looks as though its breathing. It's hard to see but if you're paying attention and you know what these things look like when they're operating correctly then you'll see it. Bad ground maybe? I'll address...

If I have to I will go back to a single amp running both, but for now I just have a few more ideas. I put the subs back in, ran all my connections again and powered them up, this time running only one channel from the head unit to the left channel of the amplifiers, they worked nicely although...

All right, another double post. when I pulled the box out today I found that the amps gain were set on 5V, where BTL is next to .5V. Do you think that this might possibly have been causing my problems?

The model number on the subs is TS-W384C. Pioneer still hosts it's specs here: TS-W384C - | Pioneer Electronics USA The amps are Sony's XM-GTX1852's. Their specs can be found here: Sony Xplod XM-GTX1852 1000W 2/1-Channel Car Stereo Amplifier Sony XM-GTX1852 Xplod The subs are definitely old...

I know that this might sound like a stupid question, but working in auto parts (and batteries) I see it often: Did you mix up the positive and negative wires on the battery? As in the positive wire to the negative post and the ground wire to the positive post.

Didn't see that one coming. Seriously funny. Lmao. As far as the problems go, and take this with a grain of salt as I'm still new to this game, it almost sounds like a dirty connection or something faulty within the amplifier. I would disconnect, clean, check and recheck all of the connections...

I get that, but they were cheap, I'm not looking for competition grade or anything like that, this is only my second set up and the first one I did in my friends car (which is ALL sony 0.o) was all plug and play since he bought it used and assembled. Once I've got the hang of this and can wire...

Yep, I guess they would be kind of old school, but I like them. I reaped them from under my TV in my home stereo, where they worked flawlessly.

Let me upload the video I have, you'll see it if you pay very close attention, it's hard to see but the video is of one speaker running.

One amp powers one sub, they are completely independent of each other (which is a major part of whats throwing me off here.) when I run the left and right channel out of the HU and into the L/R inputs on the amp they work, but I noticed earlier (And have video of) that even the the "breathing"...

Well, I've tried them individually, running one channel to each amp or running both channels to one amp, when I would run both into one, that one speaker would work fine, when I ran one channel to each amp I had the same problem with the speakers popping, or breathing like I said, as if they...

Hey all, I hate to jump in without an introduction but I've got a little problem here. I recently installed two 15" Pioneer subwoofers rated at 4 ohms powered by two 1/2 channel Sony amps. While I was waiting on my second amp in the mail I ran both speakers on the one that I had already and...
