[QUOTE="Stel, post: 3148548, member: 574698"] Boss amps are poor quality so it's not uncommon for this sort of thing. Also that amp isn't putting out near enough power for the JL to move adequately. Boss grossly overstates their power capabilities. I would seriously consider an upgrade. Though from the sound of things you could have a bad connection to the center pin of the rca's (maybe you can bend the center pin out a bit in the amp) or a bad solder point. Also the power/ground wires to your amp look undersized and might have poor contact, it's possible the amp is cutting out or going into protect from voltage drop. There could be an impedance mismatch here too, how many ohms is the sub wired for and how many ohms is the amp stable to? [/QUOTE]
