So i got some questions ive had a PL1-212 fosgate subwoofer it is (2) 8 ohm 300 watts rms/600 peak it says. i have it paired with a fosgate punch p200.2 amp.. some specs on it are
2-channel car amp
50 watts rms x at 4 ohms
200 watts rms x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms
based on what ive been reading, this amp is severely underpowered for my sub, is that correct? for along time i had a speaker i think blow out, on certain songs it makes alot of crackling i just ignored it but now i noticed my sub the bass isnt even vibrating anymore really. from what i read speaker blowouts can be caused by underpowered amps? if im correct would it be best if i get a new amp and possibly new speakers? also if i replace the amp do i have to pretty much run new wires through my car or can i use the existing ones which are newish like 2-3 years old. i ask cause i feel like my local shop that installed it i just fully trusted them to do whatever and make it work and not sure if they cut corners or didn't provide me important details. thanks for any advice
