I have a 400 watt 2 ohm amp pushing a 2 12 inch subs that are MTX with a 1350 max watt. I had this same system in my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I put this system in my 1986 Cutlass Supreme Brougham about 1 week ago. For about 3 days my system would play just fine. But for some reason when I turn up my volume on my Jensen In Dash dvd player. My amp will stay on but my subs will no longer hit. When I turn the volume down, the subs will come back on and hit. I had this same system in my Jeep and I had no problems. I have 4 guage wires for the battery and gnd wire hook up. Like I said it worked for 3 days just fine. My amp will stay on but the subs will not hit for nothing. My gnd is hooked up to the trunk of my car and its touching bare metal. Also my lights do not flicker or did not flicker when it was working fine. My battery is 2 years old. My alternator my be the problem but my car is getting the proper charge. Also it started the day I jump started someones car. My alt is good.

yeah man my suggestion is u get urslef a good capacitor and if that doesnt do the job then ud have to go for an optima battery theyre gel and last a lil longer than regular batteries. and u also have to watch the voltage on ur dash if the voltage goes down when u give it volume

If the only thing that is different is the head unit, you may have to re-adjust the gain as the output form the HU may be different than what the Jeep had.

You'll need Microsoft Excel, a multi-meter and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.

not enough pewer going to amp? or your subs are going out. what is the rms on the subs if it is more than 400 wats u need another amp or u will damage the subs. had a friend with 2 type S alpines 12" and he messed them up because he ran too little power fron the amp thus the subs did not ger enough power and broke.

try and get the ground on the frame or any thick metal. are you using a capacitor? other than that, just check all the connections to make sure they're tight.

Maybe you don't NEED AN AMP.Try not turning up the volume. Why Do you need it that loud,how can you hear sirens especially when they are behind you?
