[QUOTE="ninesixworm, post: 8661660, member: 676006"] So I've hooked up about 5 different systems before. I know the basics but am absolutely stumped now. My little brother bought his first system last week and we finally got around to putting it all together and in his car. A Skar ZVX-15v2 Dual 2ohm and a Skar RP-1500.1. I wired the subwoofer to 1ohm. After all was said and done the speaker was barely getting powered... I've never had this issue, we turned the gain all the way up and the bass knob on maximum. Even had the bass eq on set to 12db. Obviously that should've at least made very loud burps or blow the speaker, but it sounded like we had a small 10 in a tiny box... It was making some noise but you could definitely tell it wasn't getting proper power... Definitely not the 2300rms rating for the amp we had. Could it be the power and ground wire to the amp? The lights arent flashing when the bass hits so it cant be the battery... I am just really confused here and would like a second opinion. The car is a 2000 BMW 328i. [/QUOTE]
