OK, so i thought the problem with my subs cutting in/out was fixed after i screwed down the speaker terminals tight. I even switch to 12awg speaker wires and soldered them. I had 16awg wires before but because i tighened the terminals too much it actually clamped down on the speaker wires too hard breaking the wires. So i thought soldering and 12 awg wires would solve the problem...

So my subs still cut in/out. When it cuts out, i try to push the wires into the amp more and i would get my subs back. so i tighten them even more but the problem still occurs. I notice that when they cut out, if i hit the part where my speaker terminals are on the amp my subs would cut back in.... and then it would cut out...and if i hit it again it would work again. Mind you im not hitting the amp really hard, just a little knock.

Im starting to conclude that there is sth loose inside the speaker terminals on the amp.

Am i right? Can i do anything by myself, IE) take apart the amp to see if anything is loose?

Or do i have to get the amp warrantied?

 
I would try taking the subs out of the box and checking the terminal cup connection that goes to the voice coils. I had a similar experience where my sub would hit hard and the air inside the box would cause it to loose connectivity.

Yes. Only thing is the leads will be encased in resin. Keep in mind that this is an assumption.

I agree with every one above. OFC is much better. Copper is a much better conductor than aluminum.
