If does it when the bass gets higher if thats what you mean i think i sould also add that when i press the EQ button it has a tick sound and when the raido first comes on it has a broom sound that was never there before

Alls that I know is that the broom sound is a bad ground on the deck or the amp.The noise your subs are making as you explained it sounds like you have blown the voice coil or the spider.

It isn't the subs, it's the amp. The subs don't have the ability to make the bass skip - they have one simple function, and that is to vibrate when they are given power.

Now, tell me. Does the bass kick in when the bass in a song gets loud, or does it kick in only at the bottom and then cut out when it gets to the top?

To understand the problem you have to understand what you're looking at. The main amplification part in an amp is the transistor. There are several of these in an amp, and there are almost always two sets: a pre amp and a primary amp. The set of transistors associated with the preamp handle only the lower, softer hits and noises while the primary handles the hardest hits and the very loud bass sections.

That is what I was going to say I think that your voice coils are blown. Also the Rms on the amp and on the subs don't neccessarly need to match. You just can't over power your subs. As long as you set your again and your eq properly ( do where it sounds the best with out distortion then you will be ok.

No filter is going to solve your problem. Your getting a residual build up of current within your amplifier. Sounds like you may have damaged one (if not more) of the MOSFETS within the amplifier. TIme to say goodbye my friend and look into replacing him. It's very possible (depending on where the amplifier is located) that moisture entered the amplifier somwhow - that would explain the funky symptoms coming out of nowhere.

Jeff is right.

Are you missing a low pass filter to your subs? High frequencies will damage your subs as will under/over driving them. Running too low of an impedance (overdriving) will damage your amp as well.

The RMS values of your subs and amp must match.
