[QUOTE="azphat12, post: 6741002, member: 619925"] Does the amp get hot? Does it always happen at around 35 ish volume? Have you tried it at low volume with the "loud" setting on? Basically can you hear boom at low volumes.... Can you put your Sony's back in temporarily for testing? What is your battery, 2nd battery, amp voltage on a multi meter? What is your speaker box ohms on a multi meter? Can you disconnect the sub amp and turn your radio past 35 with no issues? Does your stereo have a "sub" output? If so, can you try the "rear" output instead for testing? Can you try different RCA's? Can you try another amp? Buy a cheapo at Walmart...test with it if you dont have any friends to help out. Can you bypass the 2nd battery and run amp from main battery? These are just some brainstorming questions.... Many of them you would want a meter for. I bought mine at Walmart for $20 about 2 weeks ago. Personally I think its a voltage issue somewhere, or an ohm issue. If your amp is getting hot and/or its shutting off at higher volumes only...you could be over driving the amp with a low ohm rating. The amp would shut itself down to prevent damage to itself. I do not think you have any wires crossed, but it doesnt ever hurt to make sure anyway. Ohh...and write everything you do down somewhere. Everytime you troubleshoot write down what you did, so you know what you did and do not do it multiple times. Start with the easy stuff first. Get the meter, do your basic checks with it and write the numbers down. If they are good, then move on. You have to remember that noone here knows your audio knowledge, so some (like myself) will start with the very basics and not ASSUME you did something. You wouldnt believe how many computers I have fixed because a customer plugged it into a surge protector....then plugged the surge protector into itself. They wondered why there was no power...... yes...... it happens more then you know... [/QUOTE]
