If you do try this method, make sure you have the volume low. This should really only be done if the speaker is 4+ohms, anything lower may make the indoor amplifier go into protect mode regardless.

If none of this does work than yes the one assumption was correct.... it is a shitty amp
i appreciate the advice, but i switched the sub out, and hooked up my friends subs to see if it was the amp or sub, and had no luck with the other subs either, and i checked behind the head unit as well, so yea, shitty amp
any recommendations on a decent, fairly low priced amp?
