    donno for sure maybe your overpowering dats the problem mine had or could be that your power cables arent thick enough (eg u might have 8gauge when you should have 4 or 0 gauge power cables) but most likely overpowering the amp, hope it helps

    Ok start with some basic info and checks. Firstly what size cable are you using? Is you ground grounded properly, with the ground point sanded back to bare metal, and where is it grounded? Have you set your gain properly?
