You're going to have to do some troubleshooting. The problem could be caused by several things. You've burnt a coil, an amp is failing, the enclosure may have failed, there's a power problem with an amp. There's literally a couple dozen possible problems. You'll have to start at one point and start checking problems. Wires first, then make sure both amps have power without protection lights, then check the enclosure, take a DMM and test the coils on the subs, play a tone and test the voltage coming out of the terminals on both amps or take it back to where you had it installed and have them check it out if you don't think you can properly troubleshoot the system.

They have tried all the above,the equipment is only a month old, just cant figure it out, will have to keep looking. Thanks for the feedback!

Does it feel less loud to you?

If not, were they the same meters, metered in the same place?
