well thats the most commen problem your looking at so far.. its hard because you dont know anything.. how its wired the subs impedance.. you could have another issue.. bad ground, thin power wire, not enough current.. you could have the bass boost up to much on the deck or the amp... there are alot of issues it could be.

i like that old chevy cowboy limo you have in one of the pics.

what impedance are they?

you would need a digital multi meter.. or like i said ask your friend. a power 2 ohm amp is kinda tricky. i know that rockford made a line of them for a while, and a few other companies did too.. the JL slash series is always an option... its a damn shame that they are not dual 1's.. (ormaybe they are) because an amp would be alot easier... but either way you have a NICE pair of subs on your hands for sure.. now you just need to power them well... and if you like them now.. ha ha JUST WAIT untill you have them powered correctly.. you will be WOWED. FWI beat me too. it.. good call.

well that amp is rated at 4 ohm mono for 1100 watts..... soo.... first thing is first. make sure they are indeed dual 2's then you need a new amp. somthing that put full power out at 2 ohms. IF they are indeed dual 2's but you need a new amp anyway that one is a piece of shit. . its RMS 550 watts.. not anywhere near 1000 anyway. so i would replace it anyway no matter what.

settle down.

well i asked you for the model number on the amp too.. that will help alot.. ask your friend what the impendance of the subs were.. and what amp he had.. im going to gess a rockford. somthing full power at 2 ohm im guessing at this point

well there you have it.. i dont know of any crunch amp that will handle a .5 ohm load. they must be dual 2's and who ever loaded them wired them too low.. on a dual 2 set up your stuck at 2 or .5 ohm.. and that sucks.. who ordered the subs for you ?

hate to read this.. but i remember he had alot of personal shit going on.no excuse but still i hate to hear it.

the subs are dual 2 or 1? what model amp? how do you have them wired it sounds so far like you may them under the amps ohm rating. but we can get more into it.. those are the questions i have at this point. more to come.

very hard to put a price on... as often beauty is in the eye of the beholder with these older amps.. and this one is in great shape for its age, some people with say its trash. some people may pay its weight in gold. are you trying to buy it?

you would have to look and see how many amps/ volts the THS pulls.. then buy a converter... they get costly fast

some fucking jack ass gave me a negative mark for my comment IT WAS A FUCKING JOKE!

OG nightshades, first run of them i think., i bought them years ago,12 spoke chromes, with cooling motor.. those subs do work... believe me i know

kicker... anything square is better then anything mentioned here.

ahhh didnt know about that sereies thought it was a typo

oh how i miss them!!

150 would be sweet.. IMO its a long shot on music.. with 2 10's but i guess well find out soon!!!!!

switch out the RCA wires if you can.. see if it makes a difference... did you plug the RCAs into front or rear to see if it omitted a sound? lastly what head unit?

sweet subs.. im jealous ..... VERY nice work bench by the way..!!! im not the only one that works in crazy places.

WHIOOOOPPP for American jobs!!!!

daily? thats a 1 ohm stable amp... if your trying to run those subs you will be at .5 ohms.

thank you sir
