Unregistered guest | hi i have a Pioneer GM-X624 i run a pair of 6x9s of it that are 100rms 400max. The amp should run 120rms x2 and 240max this is in the specs. when i turn them up it plays until some bass hits and then seems to turn off for a second then turn back and continue like this until i turn it down. is this going to wreck my speakers and whats causing this? the amp isnt new but i sont think it is faulty please help |

danzzzzzzzz Unregistered guest | its not very loud and sounds perfect until they just cut out. what does clipping actually sound like? |

danzzzzzzzz Unregistered guest | before it cuts out it sounds perfect. it isnt that loud either. could it be anything else? what does clipping actually sound like? |

danzzzzzzzz Unregistered guest | everyhting is connected secure. yeah it goes straight to battery. i have turned the lights on and tryed to see if they dim and they dont seem to. i do have a smallish battery though. i originally put it up to where it says normal. could you please give me some advise as how to "tune" the gain? |
