[QUOTE="SlamSession, post: 3203227, member: 579067"] Yo123, your amp is clipping, its a safety feature that way it won't blow or fry the circuitry. I think that your subs impedance load on the amp is causing it. I always tell people to first buy the speakers and secondly buy the amp. Don't try to match the amp to the speaker, but the speaker to the amp. Another factor is that whenever you increase the volume from your head unit, the head unit increases the voltage signal to the amplifier. So when you get to level 22 in your volume and a hard bass note hits, that's all the amplifier can handle. You mind telling me what kind of subs you have, the brand name, the model, how many and how do you have them wired, in series or parallel ? Then I may be able to suggest a proper amplifier for your subwoofers. You probably also need to purchase a 1 Farad capacitor for your amp. The capacitor stores electricity, that way whenever the amp needs a little extra power, for example when you're listening to that Techmaster P.E.B. Bass Computer CD, there will be enough juice for your amp and will be less of a load on your electrical system. Let me know about your sub's info. Peace. [/QUOTE]
