Amp Clipping?

Yesterday I got a new sub (Pioneer 10in 200 watt RMS) because my others stopped working (Lightning Audio 10in, 100 watt RMS), and I installed it into what I already had. Thought it'd just work, but I guess something went wrong with it and now every time I turn it on, I can't raise the level on the amp past the 4 (it starts on 6 and goes to 0.3V? I don't really understand it) but before the amp was on about 1 (2 o'clock) and the bass boost (40hz and below) was on about 5. Also I can't raise the bass boost at all with the V level on 4. The amps a Sony XMZR1252 2/1 Channel ZR Series Amplifier. (it's either clipping or not getting enough power through the line, I THINK, I hooked up a battery charger to the car while running only accessories and it still cuts out, the light on the amp flickers as well when it 'clips')

How do I stop the clipping?

Sorry if this is confusing.

It's very likely this has to do with box rise and the fact that you should test for clipping along the entire frequency range that the sub plays...

You have a blown cap in the amp more than likely. Had the same thing happen to a soundstream amp.
