Can you provide a link to specs for the amp? I can't seem to find any with that info.

Many things could cause your description. 99% of it would be the install/vehicle. Proper size/quality wire, good battery underhood, good ground to metal, etc.

Here is the manual for the amp.

And this is how the 2 kicker's 12'' dual 4ohm are wired, and the subs are rated at 400w RMS

thanks for the help.

Everything seems fine, I would just look to the install.

Clean grounds to metal, Add another ground underhood, Use good 4AWG, Properly size Fuse amperage (I think 60 for yours), make sure you have a good battery underhood, etc.

You know what my battery's volts go to about 11-12 volts when I just turn on ac you think that battery is going bad?

How old it is? Some batteries only have a life of 3yr/36000.

Never a bad idea to have it tested.

Where's a good ground point for a 4awg wire inside these nbs reg cabs?

I gota pheonix gold xenon 600.1 and DD 1010 in mine works fine. But wouldnt mind beefing up the ground and doing the big 3.

Orion 250R is the shiznit. Those amps are high current, yes, they draw a lot of power. Seems normal to me. I ran a HCCA 225 for years. Badass amps, imo. They do get hot though, so keep it well ventilated.
