[QUOTE="msgtcody, post: 7625199, member: 639187"] Alright guys thanks for your ideas and suggestions just wanted to let you know where I'm at right now. I moved the amp to my other car with a 130amp alternator like i said above and it still does absolutely nothing without the gain way up. As others have said doing that causes the sub to clip badly and sound terrible. It seems like this amp is either all or nothing. I've hooked the hifonics to the sub which is only putting out about 500 watts and the difference is night and day. 2 different cars, 2 different amps, grounds, wiring setups and the only failure is when the rockford amp is being used. I don't have any way to test the power coming out of it but it can't be putting out more than 100 watts at anything under max gain. By comparison I can set the Hifonics down to 0 and it still be more powerful. Surely this has to just be a bad amp? [/QUOTE]
