    Help me Please.
    I have 2 MTX Terminator 12"s with a Pioneer 760 watt amp. My Head unit is Pioneer also.
    Anyways...My subs sound great UNTIL I turn the volume over 30...?
    When the bass hits if the volume is over 30 the song just cuts off.
    I dont know if its too much power or my ipod sucks but it ****es me off.
    With my previous system(2 audio Bahn 10"s with 250watt amp) I could turn it up over 40 with no problems.
    If you have ANY suggestions feel free to give. =)

    It sounds like a voltage or ground problem, the gain adjustment is off on the Pioneer, or you're running a too small gauge power wire to the amp.
