[QUOTE="phantom240, post: 3028402, member: 562504"] I lent a buddy of mine one of my Alpine MRV-1507's to use until he gets another amp. So we hooked it up to a kicker comp 12 with a 4ohm svc config (at least we think so, gotta double check now). We hooked it up on a single channel, as I know the amp is powerful, but very little sound. Okay, so we bridge it. At 4 ohms bridged it should be putting out 900w rms. The sub laughed at my amp. Im wondering if his crappy wiring has to do with it? Hes got 4awg running to a fused distro block, and 8awg from there. Im thinking the 8awg (from distro and to ground) is severely limiting the output capabilities of my amp, and also putting it at risk of toasting itself trying to pull power from small wire. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
