time to upgrade something like 3k watts and u will notice a difference.

I had this problem before. My rca cables were bad. Well one channel of them went bad. I changed em out and never had a problem again. Check and see if that could be the probelm. Makes a really big difference.

Process of elimination, start with your grounding points.and work your way up.

I had that problem to. If you use cheap *** rca's try a new, decent pair. Its also possible one channel rattles loose thus cutting the input voltage in half. I suggest trying this first because its probably the cheapest and easiest fix.

i have one grounding point where the local shopped did, its like a random piece of metal that is striped of paint

My power wire doesnt have a connector on it can this be the problem?

Unlikely...however you said you have a 20amp and a 25 amp fuse. Which means your amplifier isn't all that powerful. even at a solid 14 volts, you aren't putting getting more than 14x25 = 350 watts. Of course, that's in a perfect world, which judging by your rims, we indeed are not in.

he thinks your rims are low grade, meaning you probably arent running the best electrical in the world to give you the full power of your amp, meaning you probably arent getting 350 watts out of it. and no your power wire isnt the problem for your bass degrading. however, you have 2 D4 subs meaning you are running at most likely 4 ohms since the shop did it. get a good amp that can do at least 1K watts at 1ohm and youll be getting a lot more out of those CVRs.

Maybe a loose connection on the subs / amp terminal.

i'm still waiting on for more info on the system.

kenwood 1000 watt amp

panasonic hu

2 kicker 12"s cvrs 4 dual ohms wired at 1 ohm

4g power and ground wire

Well today after playing my system for a while,i noticed that it wasnt as loud and hitting hard anymore?What can be causing this? Can the fuses be the problem the fuses i got in the amp right now is 25 and 20

Your subs are hitting just as hard and it's just as loud ...
