I have 2 10" alpine x series subs and a 2000watt alpine amp. Problem is when i turn my music up past a certain level the subs just seem to quit. What do I do? Just keep messing with deck and amp settings?

Do the subs quit or does the amp quit? Is it going into protect?

4 gauge in. Out is like a makeshift wire it should be close to 4 gage tho haha. I dont think it goes into protect but could be wrong

FAIL, right there. Take whatever ghetto *** wire your using as ground and replace it with REAL 4 gauge.

Bad ground...

Just pick up some 4 gauge ground wire at an appliance store or lowes for like .70 a foot. Only need maybe 3-5 feet...if that much...

Wont be 4/0...thicker strands. But im using it until I get around to upgrading my whole system. Wire came loose once...

Shouldn't use that wire. The strands are too thick and the terminals don't crimp down tight enough...that's why your wire came loose
