[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8711053, member: 654802"] Everything looks right with your wiring. You are running one speaker per channel and those 8" more than likely are single 4 ohm. My guess is that you may have a bad ground. Amp pushes a hard note but lacks power from the battery, so it cuts off. If the fuse by the battery is 60 amps and above, you are good there. I say check your amp ground. Make sure it is making great contact with the bare metal. Sand it if you are unsure. After doing that, I suggest to set the LEVEL knob on your amp. Turn the LEVEL knob all the way counter clockwise. Turn on radio to 75% of it's volume or until speakers distort, then dial it back a bit. Now turn the LEVEL clockwise until the subs distort or cut off, then dial it back a bit. You are done. [/QUOTE]
