[QUOTE="locomike1219, post: 6085674, member: 611711"] I have a new Kenwood KAC 7204 ([URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KAC7204/Kenwood-KAC-7204.html?search=7204"]http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113KAC7204/Kenwood-KAC-7204.html?search=7204[/URL]) powering some rockfords ([URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/p_575P2L212/Rockford-Fosgate-P2L-212.html?search=fosgate+enclosed"]http://www.crutchfield.com/p_575P2L212/Rockford-Fosgate-P2L-212.html?search=fosgate+enclosed[/URL]). At first, they worked like a charm for about 2 days after installation. The bass was nice and booming and more or less what i was expecting. Then, the in line fuse on the power line blew, as well as the one on the amp itself. The in line one was only a 30amp fuse, when it needed a 40 amp fuse, so my bad, but a Simple fix. the amp itself blew a 40 amp one however, but i still replaced it. the amp seemed like it was working fine again after i replaced them both, but i noticed that at higher volumes, it just cuts out. At lower volumes, i can clearly hear the subs producing nice sounding bass, but once i crank it up, it just kind of dies off. i can still feel them vibrating a little, but they are not producing nearly as much sound as they did before.
