[QUOTE="MikeyB, post: 4043098, member: 562290"] I would definately double check all your wiring. It sounds to me like you wired the subs wrong and the merlin is seeing a far too low of a load. I have heard of people running them at 1/2 ohm without any problems daily. I had one not too long ago and didnt have any dimming with a 120amp alt and a yellow top. They are underrated amps and very efficient, I wouldnt be suprised to see ~1800wrms out of these as thats what flakko had stated when they first came out. Im sure its just your wiring, but I would unhook the subs from the amp before you damage it, and re-wire them to the correct way. Use your dmm to measure the resistance at the wires before you connect them to the amp, so you will have some kind of idea as to what load the amp will see. There should be no dimming at all if everything is in working order and wired correctly. [/QUOTE]
