[QUOTE="Blazer1, post: 7157357, member: 628327"] Some of you guys where nice enough to help my son and I design and install his subs and amp he got for Christmas,..well we think we have a problem. We are noticing a decrease in output from the subs. [B]Here is the setup;[/B] Soundstream PCX2.540@540w bridged (running it bridged at 2 ohms although it is only rated bridged @4ohms) (2) RE Audio SRI10D2 running them in a 2.3cubic ft undivided enclosure tuned to 32hz each speaker running @4 ohms to shared post for a total 2ohm load. We started out using a 8ga amp wiring kit that turned out to be junk, the wire was all insulation and no copper. I keep the gain turned all the way down on the amp for a couple of days to break in the new subs and had my son keep the volume on the hu down well when I started cranking the gain and volume up we melted the cheap fuse holder(the amp started cutting out and we smelled something hot) so I replaced the fuse holder with a heavy duty one and the amp cables are now true 4ga welding cable. So, how can I go about finding the source of our problem, I have several types of multimeter's and other test equipment. [/QUOTE]
