Hey guys,
After having a tech look at the amp, turns out it needs an estimated $300 to get it fixed properly.
So i am leaving it unfixed.
Not a great first impression of phoenix gold

It was set to 200 on my V part of multimeter. It doesnt actually say AC but the positive plug isnt in the DC hole so I assume its AC

The amp stayed at 31.7 volts from zero gains all the way through to full gains. No change whatsoever.
At soon as sub was hooked up it dropped to 1.8volts

Thanks Bret,
I appreciate what your saying.
Would a more powerful amp be a better option??
And Does this mean the sub could get damaged if the amp is doing what its doing??
So you believe from whats been going on that its not a problem with the amp??
Thanks
Brayden

I dont understand why its clipping at only just over half gains. The sub is not even getting loud before it decides to switch off. Then as ...

PG QX 900.1d and Alpine Type X

Hey guys, I recently purchased a Phoenix Gold QX 900.1D to run an Alpine Type X 12' sub. I installed it today running 4 gauge and all went to plan. Then I went to set the gains. As I cranked it to just over half gain it started clipping (momentarily flicking the sub on/off). The sub is wired at 2 oh...
