Rockford 800.2 / 2 10" MTX Thunder 6000s

[echz]

I just picked up the Rockford Punch 800.2 and 2 10" MTX Thunder 6000's. The subs are 4 ohm and do 250 rms/500 peak i believe, and they are wired directly from the amp (L+/L- to left, R+/R- to right), so they should be being pushed at 200x2 if I'm reading correctly.

I don't know what's going on with them however, unless they are blown -- They seem to break up and not hit cleanly...They are in a sealed box, in a Ford Probe (hatchback).

I'm using a Sony XPlod L-Cube series headunit that does 52x4 and has a separate sub out. I have the crossover on the amp set at ~60, and it's on Low Pass....I've played with the gains and tried everything i can think of, but to no avail.

Can someone offer any insight to where my problem may be? Am I overamping these speakers? I only have 6 out of the 8 screws holding each speaker in as well....could that be a problem? I think I should be able to earth these speakers...but it sounds pretty bad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...Any help is appreciated!

hey there are a few things that could be wrong, when the subs start to break up, is the power light for the amp shutting off and on, if so then it could be a bad connection on either your remote wire, ground wire, or power wire. If the power light stays on and the problem stil occurs maybe your RCA cables are bad, or maybe the outputs on the back of you cd player are messed up, i have seen SEVERAL sony cd player RCA outputs start messing up, i hate sony cd players. email me back if you got more questions italnpimp59@hotmail.com, my name is Jimmy
