    Sub intstall problem/ questions

    Ive just hooked up 2 dual 12s in the back of my 87 325is, and i cant get them to work right. I know the subs work i hooked them up to my friends amp last week and they worked fine, i am running a pioneer 800w mono amp and pioneer head unit, i have the power and ground wires (both 6ga. i think) going directly to the battery.
    When i turn the radio on, the subs will give 1 or 2 weak bumps, then just stay at a constant pulsing, that changes when i turn the lpf knob or the gain knob. I have tried the subs in series and parallel and get the same result.
    Also the light on my amp goes out about 3 seconds after i power it up, but the subs continue to pulse.
    does this mean the amps junk, and if so, is there any way to test it?
    I dont know much about systems so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
