[QUOTE="Zackster, post: 8525504, member: 671053"] Be honest... is my amp just ****** and can't produce enough power for my subs, or am I doing something wrong? My amp is a Crunch powerzone pzi 2250 1000 watt max 2 channel 250watt rms per channel (bridgeable @ 4 ohms). My subs: 2 Pioneer TS-W303R 12" 250 watt rms 1200 watt max 4ohm SVC. I currently have my subs wired 1 sub per channel which is a final impedance of 8 ohms. I've bridged them in the past for a final impedance of 2 ohms and, no surprise, the amp went into protect pretty quickly and felt like hot magma... The thing is, it still goes into protect on and off with an 8 ohm config... Before you ask, I have my gain set moderately (about 10 o'clock). The hpf knob also goes infinitely in both directions (in other words, it's broken...) As for wire gauge, I have 6 gauge power/ground and 16 for speaker wire. My box is a sealed (I've heard sealed boxes cause more strain or something) pickup truck box made of crappy pressed board. [/QUOTE]
