Hey guys I just put a new kicker comp cvr in my gs cause original sub was going bad. Now i have everything installed when i turn up the volume pretty loud my system stops playing and waits for me to turn down the volume. It is a 4 ohm sub with dual voice coils wired in parallel. I am using the stock amp and i do have mark levenson. Could it be my amp???
Thanks!

It sounds like the stock amp is going into a protect mode. The stock sub is most likely a single voice coil 4 ohm sub, your Kicker when the voice coils are wired in parallel has an impedance of 2 ohms which will work the factory amp harder than it was designed to be. If your going to run that sub you will need a different amp, otherwise you may damage the factory amp.

or ur clipping the sub and its shutting down trying to save itself as said above ull need another amp that can even push that think to its potential

This is your answer. Stock amp cannot handle a 2 ohm load. If you must use the stock amp, wire the two voice coils in series for an 8 ohm load.
