[QUOTE="its10v1, post: 7976061, member: 624469"] Now that the equipment is in the open, Input sensitivity + Bass boost = bad for the amp(s) Plus the boss amp may say its "Stable at 1-Ohm" but I doubt it is, look up the real specs via sonicelectronix.com. If it's a phantom series, I know first hand it is not stable at 1-Ohm. It may perform (briefly) at 1-Ohm, but it won't last. Not sure about the other amps. FYI 12.1 is a serious voltage drop, you're destroying your battery IMO. RCA's could stand to be upgraded from your description. I've found shielded RCA's (Kicker KX-Line for ex.) don't pick up distortion. Distortion could be a factor, but I doubt that's what's killing your amps. Inadequate ground + Input sensitivity set too high + Bass boost on + Substandard RCA's + Voltage drops = Amps inputs/outputs going bad. Amps will power on, but no output.
