subs off and on

i read some of the other threads on the blown speakers and stuff, but my problem is a little different i think. So i turn on my car and the subs still hit like they normally would, then all of a sudden it stops, and this happens all the time, sometimes it stays off and sometimes ill hit it and it will turn on again, i checked the connections and they seem alright, oh and i dont know if this has anything to do with it but when i change the bass or sub W level sometimes the deck goes off and on once really quickly. Anyone know the problem.
What i have:
i have a sound storm labratories Force F200.4 200W x 4-channel amplifier
and 2 C4 12" subs 700W 4 ohm in a enclosed box
plus a separate 12 aluminum eclpise sub
And a older Alpine HU
I have the subs hooked up so that channel 1 and 2 is bridged wit 8 ohm load

Strange. I know for sure it is either your amp or the head unit, which one, is a different story.
I'm leaning toward the head unit, but...
Has it always done this? Have you reconnected everything to both the head unit and amp?

i'm curious...
how is this setup wired???
is it cutting off @ high volume, or is it just random.

i think that i have everything connected, and it has just started doing this, it randomly goes on and off, but most of the time it is off, i dont even have to turn up my volume, sometimes it just doesnt work.
I wired it with the 8 ohm load here, (option 2)

I think he meant impedance

since I don't have anything to really add to this topic.
I'd just like to say that we all need to celebrate impedence day on this july 4th.

I dunno, I think you may get a lot of resistance at first... before it becomes an accepted holiday.
The post office would love it though. they love any reason to avoid work for a day.

ok so i figure that the settings on my amp were the problem i set the bass boost up quite a bit, then the subs only worked when i set the frequency almost the highest i could, what should i set these at?
