[QUOTE="cfox10, post: 8118913, member: 631530"] You need to figure out what ohm load the amp is seeing. I don't know the amp too well (hopefully you didn't buy this brand at an audio shop) but you might want to check the wiring. Google sub wiring diagram ohm load... it will show you how to wire them. To be safe and keep the amp from going into protect I'd try and wire to a 4ohm load if you can. Your best bet would be to invest in... or take a trip down to your local autozone and use a meter to check the ohm load and adjust your gain on the amp. It will allow you to get the best results from the amp and allow your system to last longer/sound better. Do this with the wire from your sub to your amp to check ohm load... [MEDIA=youtube]RpE6QQi--Lg[/MEDIA] You can get away with setting the gain by ear but you don't want to overdo it or you'll end up sending a clipped signal to your sub and blow it. The gain isn't a volume control. [/QUOTE]
