The system consist of a clarion deck, a 12" boss woofer, a rockford fosgate amp (90 x 2) for 4 ohm speaker, a couple tweeters, and front and rear speakers. The bass will hold to a volume level of about 18. After that, the bass / sub cuts out and the rest of the system still functions.
Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions!!!!!

It sounds like your speakers are wired in a way that is lowering the resistance to 2 ohms and your amp is clipping.
To really help you I need more info. How many speakers, their ohm rating and most of all, how your system is wired. ie. series, parallel. are you using a crossover, do the woofers have breakers?

Common problem, your amp's is too small for your speakers. also you may have your connection bridged and you amp may not support it. unbridge the speaker cables and see if it sill cuts off. i dont know what kind of car you have also, but if you have a monster system it could be that your alternator is to small, but that usually apply to competition systems, you know 4 amps 4+ speakers etc.

From personal experience you can take the smallest amp and have a good sounding system if it was me I would try a different speaker first maybe find a friend that has a good sub

I would check to make sure all ground connections are clean and tight,then all +12v connections.also check the polarity of the speaker wires-sounds like power loss/ground fault.I have had the same problem,due to a loose ground wire at the amp.....good luck

you probably do not have the proper set up for the system to drive the subwoofer. remember, when you install a car sound system, everything must match as far as wattage, ohm output, etc. you cannot just install one just because of what you like, It has to match.

The subwoffer shouldn't cut out. The amplifier should be cutting out though....
