Hi new to site, I just installed one 12inch sub with 600w amp that I recently pulled out of my old car and put in my cruze, I did this install with a PAC gm44 and system sounds great only up to 18 clicks of volume and anything higher the sub cuts outand bass is gone then soon as I turn volume down a little the sub comes back, I have a big enough power and ground wire and ground is solid with good contact, I don't believe it's a power issue cause it happens weather car is running or shut off, I've also connected another battery with jump cables and still cuts out, Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not shure what guage wire but kit said 680max, My ground is in the trunk near spare tyre and I sanded the paint, I set the gains on amp and the PAC really confused me cause I wasn't shure what to set the switches at and the gains I have turned all the way in loud, When playing with switches the one makes subs from quiet to loud and other switch turns subs off or on. Dono if wire is cca or ofc.

Yes that is the wire kit I have and have used in my last car also with same amp/sub no issues, I've turned down the gains on the PAC but still cuts out at high volume, Is it possible my PAC could be hooked up incorrect cause theirs 4 rca's and wasn't shure what ones to use, all my connections are good and tight.

The pointer is the side with the radius, I will try turning bass booster off and how should I have them three wires connected, I have all three twisted together with my amp rem wire.

I really appreciate the help, I don't think theirs much more I can do cause I've tryed everything, I've tryed setting amp gains high and low with no result, I'm totally confused with this PAC lock cause I've also tryed connecting it all different ways and messed with gains and no result, this setup worked well in my other car so I believe the PAC is cause of my problem.

So I bine buzy lately and finally got some time today to play with system, One thing I never thought of was to try tuning head unit itself, I had bass at +12 from befor I added sub so I put it down to 0 and now I can play system loud up to 30clicks befor it cuts out and actually 25clicks is really bout the most ill ever need.
