Hmm...how many watts are you running continously? If its a big system and you havent upgraded your electrical system it, your alt/battery my not be able to produce consistenly enough juice for your amp.

800 watts 4 gauge wiring...... and ive had dis amp for bout 3 months problem jus started few day ago

could possible be the rca. I had a similar broblem once and it turned out to be a loos connection in the end of an rca. Try that if not then its either a loss connection somewhere else or there is something wrong with you amp. Chris

so its prolly a wiring problem.... nuthin wrong wit the amp or subs right?

 

[impulsebrklyn 10+ year member]

it depends, there might be something loose on the board in the amp anything is possible. I would recheck all the wiring. Do you have a voltmeter in th car? Watch it see if the volts jumps around? If neither one is the problme it might be the amp.

 

[chinxtaboi 10+ year member]

yea it has a lil volt thing on the amp. ... it jumps around.. so it has to be wiring problem right

Go through all of your wiring this includes, speaker/terminal wiring, ground, power wire...Also check the RCA's which from from the HU to the amp, remoter turnon lead wire...etc!! Also if it is a voltage problem..You may need some kind of a voltagle regulator such as a line driver..Although your problem doesnt sound as if u need such a thing!

Well ill include my opinion of what can and maybe happening. When you listen to a certain sound for so long your ears kinda get used to it and it doesnt seem that loud. I know this can happen cuz I do this as well. When I first get in my car my music seems very loud but when I listen to it for awhile it doesnt seem as loud. But thats just my 2 cents.

One day I suddenly noticed that my subwoofer amp was playing about half as loud as it had been. I assumed the worst (i.e., the amp had blown out a channel) but after a thorough check of everything, I discovered that the ground wire had come partially loose and wasn't making good contact. I reconnected it and the amp was suddenly back to full output. Sometimes it's the simple things that are the hardest to find.
