[QUOTE="LucaBrasiMN, post: 8768299, member: 684102"] I have triple checked that I wired it to 1 ohm. I went - to - to amp and + to + to amp. I don't know if the way I did it is right though. I have 2 short wires connecting each terminal on the sub, neg and pos, then on one side, another set of wire sharing the space in the terminal then going to the amp. I used RFs wiring wizard. This does seem like the issue as everything works fine and no weird smells or power issues, just no oomph at all. I will check the fuse under the hood, I put in a 100A as the amp spec sheet says it needs but my last build, the much smaller amp had a 200A fuse. Maybe I should try putting in that fuse? When you say to check the voltage at the amp when the sub is playing, what do you mean? I have checked the speaker terminals without the speaker wire in them to set the gain and I have checked the tip of the rcas and I am getting the expected 2V from the headunit. [/QUOTE]
