I nearly have the same setup LOL. I'm Running a kicker amp(KX200.2), kicker amp(KX650.4) & two kicker solo baric subs. Haven't had any issue's. Also with a Alpine single din deck. How many ohms does your amp run. Is it a 4 channel amp?? Are you running four speakers off that or are you running the speakers parallel??

I agree it sounds like you're not getting enough power to your subs, I'd recheck the settings on your amp but also I wouldn't trust that boss amp either, most, if not all of there stuff is garbage. + If you're unsure what you're doing with your amperage I'd take it to an audio place before you blow you stuff up

i had a boss amp a while back it worked great on my speakers (temporary amp) then one day it just went weak and sounded like **** and then died there not high quality so its prob blown a little capacitor or ur car battery isnt giving it the 14.4v amps recommend

well, you said that they were working then they just became very weak? possibilities: 1)Your voice coil blew (heart of the SUB) 2) your amp screwed up and isn't outputting enough power other than that i doubt it could be anything else

Unfortunately those 1000w boss amps usually just pack it up when ever they want, they were cheap for a reason. My guess is the amp is dead. Try another one in it place. Ush
