[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8370139, member: 650438"] 1: Car shaking = sh*t car, flex is bad = loss of output 2: I just read another thread, are you still running that amp with 4 gauge wire? 3: YOU NEVER EVER BRING UP MAX POWER AGAIN!!! EVER!!!!! NEVER!!! DONT EVEN THINK OF TYPING THAT STUPID NUMBER!!! 4: Hifonics are power hungry amps, if you dont have an upgraded alternator with a good bank of batteries, dont even think of running their amps. You are better off with a proper amp that does 1000-1200 TRUE watts RMS that eats up a lot less power. I'd say sell the amp for a nice amp. After switching from hifonics to my current amp, its like day and night in sound quality, efficiency and output. A lot less current draw to say to least 5: I'm also guessing your subs are in a crappy premade enclosure, FYI you'll never get loud with any box bought from ebay/amazon/crutchfield/sonice or any online retailer because they are mostly almost all garbage. 6: do you play bass boosted music? 7: you do realize that turning the gain knob to the left is lowering it and turning right is maxing it out right? Check because you might have the gain on max instead of at zero. FOR NOW Turn off all bass EQ, loudness bass boost on the head unit. Turn off bass boost on the amp. have the volume on the head unit at around 40-45, sub level +6, remote control bass knob with clipping light at max, amplifier gain at zero. Afterwards play your hardest hitting song and go up slowly on the gain till it stops getting louder or till the clipping light shows up. You can also wire your subs in series and see how that goes.
