Amps Fixed!
Just an update. After 2 days tracing every wire going into the amp, I finally found my problem!
My REM wire was connected to the wrong wire. Apparently when I installed my backup camera, I accidentally reconnected it to a ground instead of the remote wire (they were different colors)
Now I can blast music all night long, and since I have no neighbors, I probably will.
Anyhow - just lettin you guys know

Twin 1000watt 12 inch subs, each with its own 1000 watt amp. I need to upgrade the amps eventually. Right now, without upgraded amps and door speakers, I can't run much more than 4/5th volume. Lets put it this way. For every 10 volume levels on my head unit, the volume roughly doubles. It goes up to 50. I can only run at 35 - which is still loud
BTW: New problem. Door speakers aren't coming on, and I'm getting major alternator whine from the subs. I'm thinking the door speakers may be just fuses, though. Checking tomorrow.

I turned mine up to 28 yesterday and felt like my ears were going to burst. I dont know how loud it will go but if it's much more than that, someone at Pioneer is just crazy :P

Sorry to hear that you're having more problems :\
Can I ask you a question though? With all the bass do you ever notice parts of your car vibrating? Side mirrors, panels ext.? Because I have Shaker 500 speakers and the x940bt Pioneer and my driver side mirror vibrates. I was going to put my two 12'' Alpine Type S's in my stang but I was afraid the problem would worsen.

There is a fix for the drivers mirror I think. It's a common problem. I don't remember it off the top of my head but you can google it.

Yeah I think I saw it on Taco Bill's How-To's (best damn sticky ever). I figured they meant from engine vibration, but I suppose my speakers could be doing that too. I guess I should invest in Dynomat hahaha
