[QUOTE="generalGOTCHA, post: 2970807, member: 557157"] Try this.. use a cd player .. using a sterio head phone jack -> RCA converter .. run the cd player (or any audio output device even MP3 player etc that has headphones output on it) and listen to your subwoofer. If it sounds really nice and clean, you might want to look into your head units RCA output, maybe your head unit is going bad\out. IT happens to brand new equipment all the time. If you find what I said to be true, swap RCA's from the HU to the AMP if still same prob -> bad head unit. This will isolate the amp to a new signal source. Turn the gain all the way down, and start from there. Im pushing more RMS than you are, and my alternators not as big, the only thing that happened when my system did draw to much was the lights dimm, voltage dropped down to 12.4 volts. I was almost ready to sell my ORION HCCA 250, I added an extra battery which helped tremendously but it still got hot after its sucked that battery dry and cut off, I added a capacitor and lifes been great ever since. For now though.. You need to see if your amplifier is going wack, or if the signal from the HU is a possible problem.
