Does it do rated? How reliable? It looks good from the outside just wondering if it's a decent quality product.

How is that DB Drive product?

What HU? Try what Julian suggested and hook up an Ipod or something similar to see if it continues to cut and go into protect.

That Randy is a real piece of work! I inquired about product roughly 4 years ago and got got 2 different prices from Randy in the same email. I said F' that and searched the net and found Sundown, SSA, IA, Fi and other great companies.

Was the guy's name Randy?

How flexible is that welding wire? Is it from Weldingsupply.com?
Congrats for having a full competing team! It would get very annoying having people ask to be sponsored all day long every day for free!
No, It will do the exact opposite and make the speaker think it's in a larger enclosure. Wood blocks would be a great idea to take up some space.
It will reside on the larger side of recommendations even after speaker displacement but will only suffer a little less power handling. Will still sound excellent with some very good low end.
This current model? http://www.audiosavings.com/viewer/images.aspx?item_guid=8e687f69-54d4-4cc5-9b99-40e3f7a43558&image_guid=d87ba9b5-e09d-412a-895c-de63215bc57e
I would not run them together if that is what you're asking.
Is the box a net volume with speaker displacement accounted for?
AQ recommends a higher tuning than Fi .

Most likely the sub is fine but it's all part of the process of elmination in the troubleshooting process. Can you hook up another sub or even a speaker to make sure the amplifier is working correctly?
Do you have access to a dmm? Check the dcr of the subwoofer to make sure they didn't blow! Check to make sure you have the subwoofer(s) wired correctly.
I would look at trying a new HU ground and when the HU is out of the dash check to see if the noise goes away.
Kinda OT, but what is the Bass EQ good for then? Seems like it's pretty pointless? Imo it is pointless. It's similar to the "Loudness" feature on some older HU. It can be used, make sure you can tell when the subwoofer is starting to stress (Smell hot, distort) so you can turn it down.
I would advise turning the Bass EQ down, it can cause the amp to clip and ruin the subwoofer. Basically it is a 1 band eq centered at a fixed frequency and when turned up can cause the woofer to be overdriven.
May want to try another set of RCA's. Where is the HU grounded? Sometimes the factory ground can cause noise issues.
Atomic's shipping prices are just a little out of line!
