okay, so i have a pretty bottom line amp to begin with. its a power acoustik ps1-5500 'rated' at 3200 watts at 1 ohm (LOFL).
i have it wired down to 1 ohm, and my HDC3 15 just kinda laughs at it, but w/e it was cheap and gets/got the job done. now to the problem: the amp is all of the sudden extremely loud, and i have to completely reset my gains and such everytime it gets loud. it will switch between extrememly loud and normal, sometimes while driving. The amp has held up for about a month, and honestly, sounded quite nice, and was pretty loud (a decent amount of windshield flex).
any ideas whats wrong with it? is it worth getting fixed?
EDIT: forgot to mention, when the sub gets extremely loud, it also sounds extremely muddy, and doesnt play very many upper bass notes.
