[QUOTE="IonRL205, post: 7562027, member: 599662"] Caps are junk, if you got light dimming you got voltage issues, and for 700 watts that seems unlikely. I think you have set your gains way too high and your clipping the hell out of your subs, probably how you fried them in the first place. Take the RMS of your amp and multiply it by the ohms you will run it at. So say 700 watts @ 1 ohm would be 700 x 1 = 700. Now take the square root of that number. which should be about 26.45. Now set your DMM to AC volts, unplug your speakers from the amp, and connect the dmm to the positive and negative terminal of the amp. Turn your gains all the way down, bass boost all the way down, bass on your deck set to 0 or flat. Put in a 0 db 50 hz test tone and turn up the gain until the DMM reads 26.45, then turn it down just a hair. [/QUOTE]
