[QUOTE="884agze, post: 424328, member: 554296"] Hey everyone I got my alarm working on my car so I thought I would install the 2 10" concept subs that came with it. They came with an old soundstream amp that doesn't even say the wattage, so I got a free Ultimate Vortex from a friend. It's a 200W amp and worked awesome with an 8" rockford fosgate in my other car. So I hooked up all the wires and they started playing. Here came the problem. If I turned the volume up, or the bass up, or the gain up, the amp cuts out until I turn one of these down far enough. I checked the ground and it's fine, and the power wire is like an 8 or 6 guage so it's plenty big enough. WHY is it doing this????? THere are also 2 small boston amps powering some speakers in the dash, but they are pretty small and don't even have rca's or anything. I tried searching but I don't really know what it's called. ANy help would be appreciated! THanks! [/QUOTE]
