RickyFriery97 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 check the ground and all your connections even if you already did did you mess with the gain at all? i had a kicker zx.850.4 do the same thing and i sent it off and im awaiting a new one turn the gain all the way down and see if it still does it i did turn the gain on the amp down a little bit because it was at full tilt, even though i have the remote bass knob that came with the amp and i use that as well. but recently i turned the amp back to the original settings and it still does that. i'll check my ground even though i doubt it's the problem. could it just be a bad amp? you had the gain FULL tilt?!?!?!? the bass knob is NOT a gain control knob like the AQ or DC amps im suprised you havent blown the subs yet but yea double check everything turn the gain ALL the way down and see what it does if it still does it i would get kicker on the phone again but it could also be your amp do you have warranty?

412 CVX Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Never max out anything, only volume knob on your system is the radio. usually i follow that rule pretty well, but every once in a while you get curious as to what your system can do. i mean it's worked for me so far but knowing your system is capable and has done more in the past makes you wonder why using better speaker wire would make it do less... is it possible that maybe the speaker wire is coming loose? it was a pretty snug fit into the terminals. is it also possible that my ground has possibly come loose and isnt making a good connection because the speakers are shaking it so much?

Rebel4055 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Check the ground it's possible and maxing out the gain isn't finding out what it's capable of. Quote Rest In Peace mother.
