[QUOTE="gimling, post: 8403240, member: 665148"] ok what you can do with the speakers hooked up to the amp, play 50hz tone at whatever you have your max volume set to, be it 3/4 of the way up on the deck or whatever, its a pioneer with 4V preout your not getting 4 volt till you would be max volume but at that point its going to clip. so lets go with 3/4 of the way up, take your meter check the ac voltage on the speaker output of the amp,(with subs playing). now take the voltage and square it, and divide it by 1 ohm and that will tell you what your currently run max RMS at. so P=V^2/R. i ask what your voltage on battery is with this frequency running to see if your electrical is holding up, if its not and your at say 12v it is possible that your driving amp into clipping.
