Their is a saying in the audio world. About buying CHEAP audio equipment because it ends up costing you more in the long run.

Do it right the first time.


You could either A.) have the subs wired at the wrong ohm
B.) have a bad ground somewhere
C.) its just the equipment

but if the max power on the subs are 4000 watts amd the amp is 2000 watts isnt that 2 small ?

Max power in the car audio world means absolutely nothing -


RMS is where its at.

In all honesty your lucky if your getting 250watts rms with that amp.

Those speakers probably wouldn't last 10min on a TRUE 1000 watt rms amplifier.

JL 1000/1 would eat those subs up , walk the dog, and paint your back porch in about 10min

Your best bet would be start completely over!

i wanna keep the speakers i dont need to max the speakers out i just want some boom AND they have a 5 year warranty

[Mustang01996]

and if i were 2 redo it what would you get that was good but no 2 much

[ESG-642T]

Depends how much "not too much is"

Car audio falls under the same rules of horsepower...

Don't open your trunk unless your ready to open your wallet.


And my best guess would be those subs MIGHT take 150-300watts RMS if that.

[Mustang01996]

what subs would you put to 12s and what amp 2 power them ill buy the amp 1st see how much the speakers i have can handle and if they blow ill buy the speakers you say sound good ?


thanks 4 helping out

Ebay -> search -> Keyword

Hifonics 1500

Info: Hifonics probably is one of the cheapest amps you'll find on ebay that will ACTUALLY push close to what they say.(anywhere from 100rms-300rms +/-)

Then again its hard to reccomend an amp first without subs. Its like buying a cam and not knowing what power adder you want.

It also may either be the amp cable cuz the same thing happened in my buddys chevy pickup and he replaced the wire with a heavier gage and it worked. he was running 2 1200 watt rockford with a poineer or rockford amp that pushed 2000 watts out

Like I said MAX power doesn't mean anything -
