Message:
I installed my thunderform today. Its the non amped version. I also hooked up my amp, it's a rockford fosgate 500 watt. It is a two channel amp so i took a positive off the left and neg off the right. It worked AWESOME for about 5 min and all i can get now is very little bass from them. I have the subs on my stereo (panasonic) up all the way. Did I do wrong and what do i need to do to fix this thing. I am also stereo stupid so ALL help will be apprec.

check the fuses on the amp and the wiring kit it's possible that they blew.

You say your getting too little bass? You may want to check the wiring connections inside the box, a wire on one of the speakers may have come unplugged. I have heard that MTX T6000 speakers don't have the best connectors on them. Also, check the connections at the bannana posts. When I got my T-form and hooked it up to test it before installing, it didn't work at all. I took the input jack off and one of the spade lugs that connects to the back of the input jack was off and the wires seemed to be a little tight. Reconnected it and it works great now. Just a few thoughts.

Possibly your ohm load off your subs is too much for your amp to work, causing it to get hot and shutting off. I had the same problem, I was running a 2.67 ohm load on an amp that was supposed to handle a 2 ohm load, but the amp couldn't hang. If you have any questions feel free to email me back.

The loaded, unamped Thunderfrom will put a 4 ohm load on your amp. It has two 8 ohm speakers in parallel to make 4 ohms. But you say you have 2 ohm speakers?? Did you buy them separately?
All amps can handle the load of a T-form. In fact, it is designed so that any amp can handle it when you bridge it.
