If you're actually looking to sell it... throw up a thread in the "for sale" section with all the specs, pics, and a asking price... better chance there than somebody seeing it here.

Do you think anyone would want my amp. I mean its real nice it has a bass gain knob to you can mount where ever if you guys no anybody just write me i guess anything can be for sale for the right price

Maby different speakers instead of a 1 ohm amp? I guess it would be expensive either way.

u cant. your subs are dual 4 which means half the imp would be 2 ohm per driver then paralleling the drives gives you one ohm. and putting each driver in series would give you 8 ohm per driver then paralleling them would give you 4 ohm. so its 4 or 8 ohm. sell your amp and get a 1 ohm stable one.

I got it all figured out guys thanks for your help though it was a load problem i was running 1 ohm on my amp and it is only capable of 2 ohms or 4 ohms so thats why it kept shuting down completely. Another question how can i wire my subs to do a 2 ohm load? Its a 4 ohms right now and its not very loud anymore so if its possible just write back thanks

i had a problem with the amp going on and off a few times before. the first time was when i started doing my own installs. the place i got my amp from hooked the remote turn on lead to the power antenna lead. when i told them that they wired it wrong they was like well we are backed up right now it would take us a day to look at it. so i did it on my own and found the problem. the second time was my error. i didnt make a good enough connection on the main power lead and the remote lead.

i dont think its a load issue because the amp would just protect not shut off.

i think that the problem might be with how its wired on the inside of the box which most cases you only wire it like that when your bridging the amp. i would bring it over to bill i am pretty sure he can fix it.

You have to get a platinum membership... cost $10 and you get other lil perks like platty sections, arcade, cac email.

And if you're that close to Bill then I'd say get over to him and get it figured out for sure first hand ;)

dunno usually the amp would protect because of an incorrect load.
