[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8845314, member: 682903"] I don't know the model of your amp, but seen this video of a SSL 1500 and it doesn't even put out 200w at 2-ohm. Could be a power issue, power or ground wire (even the connectors on the wires), shorted speaker wire, too low impedance for amp, a bad amplifier, or a bad sub. Voltage measurements can help, resistance measurements as well to look for a short at the speaker / wire or excessively low resistance in a coil. Most of this testing is fairly quick, but troubleshooting the exact issue might take a bit of work. I'd lean towards wiring issue or bad amplifier, but it's all a guess at this point. As mentioned already, the actual impedance / specs of sub could help here, and the exact model of the amplifier as well. This video shows an SSL 1500 amp not even close to its ratings.
