Long story short I have a dd d5.1000 5 channel amp.
It outputs sound on all channels but the sub channel is noticeably weak.
I have 2 subs wired to 1ohm, they are brand new and the ohm load was verified by 2 different dmm.
What's weird is as soon as the amp is powered the sub ohm drops to 0 at the amps terminals, But the amp doesn't protect. It still plays fine. Reactively it stays around 60ish ohm while music is playing.
Looking at the amp draw I can only get it to draw about 32amps of current. It should easily be drawing 100amps.
Any idea why it would be acting up or what could be wrong. The grounds are good, powering is 1/0 up to about 2 foot away.
The signal leads work fine.
I'll be replacing the amp when sundown releases the 1800.5 but I don't want to sell a busted amp and this one does still put out some power
