[QUOTE="cgorman21, post: 8163324, member: 656253"] I have an Alpine CDE143BT head unit, a Rockford Fosgate P400-4 4 channel amp running four speakers, and an Alpine mrp-m450 mono amp powering 2 8" JBL GTO804 (4 ohm SVC) subs. The subs are wired parallel at 2 ohms. The whole system worked great until a few days ago, now about 90% of the time (once in a while it works fine) the subs make no sound. The amp turns on and off with ignition or by head unit, grounding and power seem fine (scraped and grounded to a new surface and no change). When the volume is extremely low i can feel the subs working with my hand, but as soon as it gets loud enough to be audible they turn off completely. Does anyone know what my issue could be? I checked all connections and they seem fine. the rca's going into the amp have signal (worked when plugged into other amp). I used monster 12 ga speaker wire to go from amp to bananas on box and within the box, is this the wrong choice? Could that be causing the problem? Thanks in advance for your help. [/QUOTE]
