I had this amp bridged into two 10's rockford fosgate and it kicked! 1 10inch isn't gonna kick as hard. U might want to look at your amp settings and make sure it set for low frequency

Don't know what to tell you. I would imagine to contact there service rep. The output on mine works great, it is a nice amp...

Rich, Every amp is going to be different. You really will need to get out the manual and look at how the loop is wired.

This amp is not putting out 2100 watts to your speakers. Your speakers are probably 8 ohms. If they are 8 ohms they are getting 230 watts to each channel. 1050 Watts x 2 Power Amplifier 230 + 230 Watts @ 8 Ohms - 460 + 460 Watts @ 4 Ohms - 920 + 920 Watts @ 2 OhmsYou will need a much more powerful amp. Good luck!

In the past I have had to deal with mismatched speakers of high wattage. I used a matching impedance amplifier.. Unacceptable here, So a possible solution could be, hook it up as normal. If it works to your satisfaction all is well. If not go to Radio Shack and buy a 4 ohm-1 watt resistor and connect it in series. Depending on speaker design, that could bring out the power to an acceptable level. If that fails... well ... its filter stuff and the cost is probably unacceptable.

Hi Tyrus,I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well.Thanks and I hope this helpsFernando

I don't think it's installed properly. I thought the same thing at first, and realized it was wired wrong. I have 6 inch component speakers on a decent Alpine 4x45w amp, and this small sub is a nice compliment to them.

I am using an ssl ev4000 watt amp on mine, and at 2 ohms it's getting barely enough power to make the coil start to smell after probably 20 minutes of hard consistent low notes. I haven't had any problems with it yet and it is pretty cheap. Otherwise planet audio amps are decent quality for a cheap price

I would consider this amp underpowered for your task. Look at its rms power and you should understand why.

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.

I have a pioneer vsx-1121K and have the A9's Bi-Amped, hitting these with 220W per channel. Even hitting these speakers with this amount of power they still aren't working hard. I'm looking into getting either a different receiver or a seperate amp to make these guys really shine...

I had this amp in a front end of a Harley driving 2 speakers bridged. (bridged means 2 channel, twice the power) It would not push the 2 speakers I had to what I like. I bought the Rockford Fosgate PBR300x4 (mainly for size) and this amp does the trick. Your better off having the power and toneing it down than pushing it and having it clip/distort.. For the $40-$50 dollars more, you cant go wrong!

I have 2 of these amps I placed 1st at local sound comp 149.9 db luis is a tard it pushed 2 18 dc hard also check the imp. 0.02 pretty good for a cheap amp never overheat no problems I sugg a 2 far. cap to run with it

Maybe too much power. Difficult to get rms figures for the amp but I reckon 300w per channel works. The amp seems quite happy driving one cabinet with one channel only. You can always use the second channel for a second cab should you ever get one. BTW. Amp still going strong. No problems.

Check that all wires are fully connected. Other wise it would probably be something internal in which case yeah I would return it. Other thing would be speakers but if you only noticed it with the new amp then there's your issue.
