[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8211568, member: 650438"] you should never listen to anything that fool says again... just because his system sounds "nice to you" doesn't mean he knows wtf he's talking about. Turning gains all the way up... what a dipsh*t. Read up on clipping and what it can do do ALL your stereo related equipment. What you have now is an amp too small with a strong desire for bass, that amps not putting out enough power and your forcing it to try and make power it couldnt possibly dream of making hence its clipping the hell out of the audio signal, forcing the amp into protect mode hence the silence. I'm guessing you probably bought a cheap pre-made sub woofer enclosure made in china. If you want to get louder you have to get a sub woofer box made by someone who knows how to make boxes that gets loud with the power you want to throw at it and tuning it so that it works well with your car's acoustics. The sound and loudness of a bass system is extremely dependent on the sub woofer's enclosure. Please for your sake browse through the help 101 section of this website thoroughly namely this thread [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-reference-database/532425-new-car-audio-read-first.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-reference-database/532425-new-car-audio-read-first.html[/URL] spend 15 dollars and get yourself a digital multi-meter at least. Running under 2000 rms, you really dont need a high output alternator. If your planning on staying in the 1.2k-1.5k rms ballpark, the most you'll need to do is the big 3 upgrade and a good AGM battery under the hood. but most likely the big 3 will suffice. [/QUOTE]
