It worked at frist then the sub just stopped beating. It wasnt running very long and I was very upset. I checked the risistance on the sub and it was just a little lower 8 ohms. I searched around and re-wired the subwoofer so the risistance was just a little lower than 4 ohms. I tried it but it still did not work. I checked the voltage going into the amp and it is around 13 volts. The ground side of the amplifier has about 3 volts. I checked the voltage reading using AC mode on my DMM on the Subwoofer "+" side and it has a very low reading with no sub connected and same reading with sub connected. Is there something wrong with my amplifier? Did I damage it while trying to power the sub with a risistance of 8 ohms? Im new to the audio scene.</p></blockquote><p></p>
