Rep Power: 212

Alright, here's the scoop.

My buddy and I installed a class D amp today along with a 12'' sub. Power to the amp is fine. (REM is installed correctly, ground is... grounded and the connection to the battery is fine) and the amplifier light is green (indicating that the amp is working correctly)

Heres the problem...im using a 3000 watt amp to power the sub, and the subwoofer sounds like it's getting 50. I checked the settings on the amplifier and the gain is maxed. The fuses on the amplifier and by the battery are fine. I'm using 14 gauge speaker wire to connect the sub to the amp.

The sub is correctly connected to the sub (I didn't mix up +/-) otherwise it wouldn't be giving any noise at all. I double checked all the connections, even from the sub to the inside of the box. Everything is fine.

UPDATE: Tried using a thicker gauge speaker wire; still no improvement. I'm guessing it could possibly be a bad sub, but it's brand spanking new. It's not often you get a factory defect subwoofer, especially from a respectable brand. Any thoughts or possibly know somebody that I can talk to?

Thanks.
