Re: My Amp Sucks HELP ME!!

Heres what i think you should do. . . . ive worked as a car audio installer for some time. . . first check the ground from the amp. if thats ok then check what size power cable your running. A 700 watt amp is a descent sized amp. you may need a bigger guage 8-4 guage. if that doesnt work. . check the conection from your amp to your subs.

I used to install at Circut. If you had anywork done there the work is guarenteed for as long as you own the car
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Take it back, it's the reason you payed for install instead of doing it yourself. The one thing I used to hate is someone who did not know what the were doing messing with an install I did.
