So I have a Blaupunkt Amplifier bridged to power a single 10" Polk MOMO subwoofer, and I've noticed that for a bridged-power RMS rating of around 380 watts, it just doesnt seem all that loud.
I'm pretty sure that its a power problem of some kind, because I'm supplying the amp with my headunits full 6 volt output power, and everything is EQ'd perfectly and installed poperly....Its just that the amp output tends to vary quite a bit from time to time, so it will be nice and powerful one minute, then not nearly as powerful as it should be the next.  Could it be a low battery voltage, bad RCA signal...?? Just tell me if any of you have had the same problem before ,because its been like this on and off for a while now.

take an ohm meter to it and see wht the voltage is, it shoould be bout 14.4
then u might wanna try a capacitor (1 farad should be good). wht AWG wire are u running? power and ground check ur ground connection, make sure u scratch off ne paint on the surface ur grounding it on. |
