[QUOTE="SbassLaser, post: 8894004, member: 686280"] That sounds pretty high to me. At a perfect 1 ohm load, that would be over 1400 watts. With impedance rise, you won't be getting quite that much power but it still sounds too high for that amp. At 2 ohms that would be over 700 watts while your amp is rated for 600 watts at 2 ohms w/ 14.4V supply. At a lower voltage it will be capable of even less. I'd bet you're clipping it. When the amp starts clipping your efficiency drops and the amp pulls a lot more current, which will cause your voltage to drop. If that's what's happening, the only solution to this is to keep the volume lower or turn the gain down on the amp. Unfortunately that's not going to help your low output issue. Regarding the low output, does it sound significantly different from when it was first installed? I ask because, in my opinion, a single 10 inch sub with that amount of power isn't going to produce very much bass to begin with. [/QUOTE]
