and you said that u have the subs down to 2 ohm so the subs are getting 560rms and the subs are i am guessing MTX 6000s and you said that they are 250rms so you are over powering them by 60 watts which is not too bad cus i dont think that the amp is really doing 560 rms also where do you have the LP and HP switch? also the amp has Class AB Circuitry which means that the amp is roughly 50% Efficient so for it so produce 560 watts rms it needs to take in 1120 watts rms from your charging system so with the car running and the alt and battery at 14.4 volts you need 77.78 amps to make 560 rms and i dont think that your car can power that amp. unless u have a High out put alt.

anyways i would be checking where the lowpass (LP) and HP (high pass) switch is or just listen to the subs and put your head right in front of the subs and if you hear the voice of the singer then you have it in the wrong spot and do your subs move as much as they did before? that would also tell me that you have the switch in the wrong spot you want the switch in on the LP also with the Switchable on/off Bass Boost turn it on and turn the gain down and see what happens. also the Remote Bass Control unplug it when i was talking to visonik's head office in the states they told me that the bass ***** make u lose 22% of the amps out put so your amp is only doing 436.8rms watts @ 2 ohm which i am not sure if i beleive them on that... but hell its worth a try.

well give that all a try









PS you dont need to post the same thing in different sections
