Ok Here is the story.

I have two 10 inch MTX audio Thunder 6000's for my subs.

Sub Info's http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/archive/2003thunder6000sub.cfm

My Amplifer is a Virtual Reality Sound Labs/ Vr3 2 Channel Stereo Amplifier

• 200 Watts Peak Power

• A True MOSFET Amplifier

• Overload Protection

• 3 Position Cross-Over Switch, Bass, Flat/Treble

• RCA Input Jacks and Line Output Jacks

• Soft Start Mute Turn On Circuit

My Reciever is a JVC In-Dash CD Player (KD-G210)

Ok this is what happened. Originally I had really bad 6 and a half inch sony xplod speakers in my door of my 1995 chevy s10 x'cab. I was at circuity city one day and bought MTX thunder dome axials for my doors. I installed them w/ no problem. About a week later my subs werent working to well, they werent making too much noise a little but not at all. So i was thinking i needed to get a new wiring kit for my truck. My tabs if u want to call it on my AMP were 4 gauge. I thought maybe it was too big since they guy who wired it did a bad job and they were on tight and etc. So i bought Tsunami or something 8 gauge wires and wired it nice adn clean w/ no wires popping out of the amp. IT was wired nice, it didnt make a difference at all. the sub still sounds weaker then it did before. I fooled around w/ the gain and freq shit and it still hasnt helped at all. Does anyone know why this stuff could be happening?

I've made a few posts before, but please help me out this time if anyone has any ideas let me know. My only idea is to get a more powerful amplifier.

How did you wire the sub? In series or parallel (sp?)?

You talking about the original poster's amp, or the Powerbass amp mentioned above?

you're pushing two 10" subs with a 2-channel 200w peak amp?? you're probably looking for a 300-350 dollar amp minimum for those two subs.

300-350? I got my 1000BD for 200. Go the net and try to find something better. I spent 90 on a RF 500x 4ch that you could bridge to 2 ch.
