kicker 12"

I had that problem with a couple amps as well, had to get them fixed, two of them went in to protect mode. Definately an amp issue from the sounds of things, but I would look for a more reliable amp anyway.

If you sub is 300w RMS, then you should get an amp that pushes that amount max.

sounds like its time to move up to a brand that's actually recognizable

Look up the kicker ZX series on ebay. They are good amps for the price and since you have a kicker you know the amp would be rated the same as the speaker.

Quote from ad on ebay... "This model C124 is a Single 4 Ohm subwoofer which we recommend running one 2 channel amplifier @ 4 Ohm bridged such as the Kicker ZX250.2"

My gf has two of these subs that are 8ohms each bridged running on this amp and they work nice.

watts are watts...

 

[jeffpanya]

so 800 watts is to much? so i would need to get something that has maybe a max Bridged RMS Power 250 watts yes? if im correct, so i found this amp on craigslist sony xplod 1000watt amp so that is way to much for the sub correct?

 

[ryan s]

dont get xplod

look for something in the 300-400RMS range if youre really set on keeping that sub.
