[QUOTE="sicone22, post: 8720926, member: 680905"] Ditch the cap, there is absolutely no need for that as it is way too small to have a positive effect on anything. but why is there 3 wires on 1 side and 2 on the other? The wires coming out are worrisome, please post a picture of the amps power inputs. 1 run and 2 batteries is not enough. That amp will push rated at 12V, I don't know if those subs will or will not take the power at whatever ohm you are actually seeing. You are new you said so there is "box rise" (changes the impedance as the excursion changes) so the amp will never actually see 1ohm load but this is still pushing it even for sundowns reputation. You say it is clipping very easy... What makes you say the amp is clipping? Where is your voltage meter metering from? Being new to car audio you are jumping in the deep end head first, I like it! There is A LOT to learn and A LOT of bulls.... you are going to read of peoples opinions. Do not ride the coat tails of any 1 brand, just cause it cost more don't make it better, just cause its loud doesn't mean its good. Bass is worst than a drug habit and probably more expensive than one too! This is prime example of why taramps is getting a bad name as unreliable. It needs power. why they don't include input adapters I do not know. why shops are installing them with insufficient power, well apparently many shops are incompetent as it appears lately. Ill customz, jims, im sure many others make input adapter for taramps specifically. [/QUOTE]
