[QUOTE="Boulevardvette, post: 8444307, member: 667761"] This post may be long but I could really use some help. My sub stage consists of: 2013 Ram Crew Pioneer AVH-X4700BS (volume at max listening between 30-32) Crescendo S1500.1 2 Sundown SA12D4 wired at 1ohm Fox Acoustics box 1.55 cubic feet per sub tuned at 35 hz Stock 180 amp alternator Big 4 2/0 welding cable KnuKoncepts KCA 1/0 to amp I can be playing some hard hitting rap/hip hop or decaf for five minutes or less and the subs will heat up and the dust cap will be pretty hot to the touch and if I push it for much longer i can smell the coils getting hot. The gain on the amp it set bewteen the quarter and halfway point with the bass boost at 0. If I turn the gain down anymore I don't get near the output I would like. The truck idles at around 14.3 volts and usually doesn't drop under 13 on hard bass hits. The level and bass boost on the deck are also set to 0.
