[QUOTE="gev003, post: 5420444, member: 604224"] Thanks guys, sounds like you're on the right track. There's no way in hell that amp is seeing 13.5. Unfortunately I don't have a multimeter at the house, so i scheduled a quick appointment for Thursday at the install shop so they could do some testing for me. From what I've heard, the Ion's stock electrical system is very weak, so I guess it's not surprising that the amp shut down when trying to hit low bass notes. I'll add a cap and pray that helps. If I'm running the amp at 2 ohms and it's supposed to send 1000 or so watts to the sub, will a 1 farad cap suffice? [/QUOTE]
