After just a few seconds of play my subs just drown out to a light lame humming that you can barely here. My amp isn't going into protection. My car audio guy said the subs aren't blown. What could it be then?

If your "car audio guy" is unable to find the issue you might as well forget about him, there could be a ton of things including a faulty amp. Got a DMM?

DMM, digital multi meter. Re check all wires and make sure connections are snug. Check the readouts at the amp with the car is running and see what the dmm says when the problem starts to occur and makes sure you have steady voltage.

He said it could be the amp too. But I swapped the amp the same thing happened. And I don't even know what a dmm is

Lol, A digital multi meter. You can pick one up at an auto store for cheap. I like your honesty, it will help you get your issue resolved faster. Here's the auto zone one that I use on my car http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Innova-Hands-Free-digital-multimeter/_/N-26lr?itemIdentifier=64471_0_0_ I have a fluke I use for work which is way better but the cheaper one works just fine for what you need.

Ok. I will do that. And then get back to you. Thanks

You probably can get one DMM at walmart, for $15 or something like that, also you can use am MP3 player to feed the amp with a proper cable, (need to start with the volume at 0) to see if the head unit is faulty.

What amp? How did you set the gain?
