Are you using the stock radio?

 

Yeah I'm using the stock radio, ill be changing is in the future. The only problem with it is the power from the amp and subs goes away after i set the volume to 28 and higher, it just gets loud as normal. I usually jam out with the volume set at 25 so I'm good for now.

 

Is there any special harnesses or anything needed?

 

I just got a single 12, am doing all the wiring. But it sounds like its tipping out & the volume is at 15. Can you help me out?

 

I have the sub in a box now, sounds 10x better, but it's cutting in and out. Like sometimes it'll hit, then if there's a small period of no bass. It will stop hitting after that.

 

I had a car audio install it for me, I don't think you would need a harness unless you had an after market stereo . They said since I still have the low powered stock stereo, I would need some converter they were selling to give even power to all the speakers and avoid the loss of loudness when I turn the volume higher.

 

To run a sub of the stock head unit u will need a SNI. It turns the factory speaker wire into a RCA output.

 

Thanks for all the help, you guys really helped me, but my brother came in from out of town & helped me finish the install, (he's an electrical engineer) lol

 

Okay, so my sub isn't working anymore & im looking to purchase a new one, any body selling a 12"? Preferably with a 500-700 rms? Or 500-600. I'm probably gonna be selling mine, around 50-70 depending on what's wrong.

 

The gain setting on your amplifier is not a volume knob.

You clipped the signal and fried the sub. Take it to a pro, seriously. The reason it would hit and stop is because it was going in to protect mode.
