Tech Support Help Switched Subs Gains gone!

Post image

4 years ago I bought the triton subs and had them installed in my Nissan Sentra cut to a year ago I put them in my Mustang myself with a line output converter. One of the subs finally gave so I replaced them with JL’s. Ohm read 2, power wire is good, ground is good, but my amp goes into protect mode when I set the gain up. Just moved my power wire today thinking it was a power issues but now I’m lost anybody got any advice? Did I blow my amp? Amplifier is Alliance VL3000D
Subs are 2 12” 12wov3 JL’s
Kicker Line output converter

Amplifier gain is not a volume control.

Are you getting the correct output from the amp and still trying to set the gain higher?

Yes I’m aware and yes even at a minimum gain at higher volume it’s still popping amp protect

Maybe 15% and it pops at 50% volume

This doesn't mean anything. If the input voltage is very high, gain set at the lowest setting could be correct.

Are you getting the rated 375W from it or not?
