i recently installed 3 12" 4ohm subs powered by a Power Acoustik BAMF 2000/1d monoblock amp...the subs are wired paralell with each other (amp to the 1st sub...1st to the 2nd...and 2nd to the 3rd)...the amp shuts off the subs when the volume is about medium......how can i remedy this

Are the speakers single or dual voice coil?

That amp is supplsed to be able to run those speakers. Have you cehcked voltage at the power and ground terminals of the amp, when the amp is playing just below the level in which it cuts out?

if one of your subs is fried then it actually would help your amp, but only if it was completely fried and not just shorting out when it moves in and out. do you have a voltage meter? preferably digital?

Disconnect the middle sub and see if it still cuts out.
