[QUOTE="Mexar, post: 6118988, member: 599759"] Well, I re-did the wiring on my subs (put the DMM on my coils while I was at it, all good) took it from a 1 to a 4ohm final load on the amp. Instead of putting both wires into the speaker outputs on the amp, I put 1 in each side (It's a mono amp with parallel outs... I think) and adjusted the gains. With the subs barely moving **** thing went into protection. I think I figured out the problem, the amp is sensing overpower to the subs or something, and is turning itself off, voltage was steady at 14.1 with the car running. The only thing I can think of, is this box is a fair bit bigger than my last one (5.1 vs 3.8). We'll try it like this for a while, but I might have to build a smaller box and put some more power on these bad boys, I'm only giving them about 300w RMS each at the MOST right now, and they can handle 750w supposively lol.
