[QUOTE="pioneerisloud, post: 4903641, member: 599311"] Alright, here's the information: 1991 Buick Regal All stock radio 600w Alpine V-Power mono block Pioneer Premier 2000SPL in an Alpine Type R slot ported box (custom made, but off the Alpine directions) Problems: [LIST=1] [*]Lights dim (duh), but BADLY. They didn't dim before when I had both of my 12's running at a 4ohm load with the gain up MUCH higher??? [*]Amplifier just dies suddenly??? It requires me to turn it off, and back on again. This mainly happens on the higher frequencies (roughly 60-80Hz). [*]Fuses keep popping under the hood on my amp wire (I know how to fix that one). [*]The sub keeps bottoming out at roughly 20Hz and or below. Don't really understand why. I've NEVER had this problem before, but I've always ran sealed boxes??
