[QUOTE="RobertR, post: 7823259, member: 641147"] What sub (subs) are you using? Check your voltage at the amp. Check your ground. Make sure your not wired for lower then 2 ohms. There is a walk through on JL's website on how to set your gain using a DMM. I found that with this amp its better to set the gain to JL's spec and then back it off just a little. I am running this same amp right now and I had the same issues when I first got it. I cant say exactly what was causing the issue because I changed several things at once. I bought true 4 gauge wire for power and ground, used a dmm to set my gains, and I made sure my power and ground connections were good. After getting it to work properly its been one of the best amps I have ever owned. [/QUOTE]
