[QUOTE="dkguitarist, post: 1530905, member: 557124"] ok well i just got back and i had the rem hooked up to the power antenna lead. so i got that wired and now the amp powers on. but now the sub isn't wanging anywhere near what it should i turn the gains up all the way briefly and it's decent but not like it should be. i have the gain switch set to gain (other options are master, copy for strapping amps). then, i have the gain turned up about halfway. (nothing audible til about halfway up). the low pass filter is set to full (other options are 12, 24) and i have the frequency set kinda low so as to not damage anything til i get it figured out. the hpf is set to off (other than on) and the setting is all the way down. the intelli q is set to 0 (bass boost basically). the phase switch is set to 0 (other than 180). my wiring is 4 gauge from battery to distro block with 200amp breaker. from fused distro (2 150A anl fuses), i have 2 runs of 4 gauge to the amps power and ground terminals. so all 4 gauge wiring throughout. the sub itself has 8 gauge wires to each vc. then i believe 14 or 16 gauge wire to the amp's terminals (speaker wire). rem turn-on is very small wire (knukonceptz rca wiring kit w/rem wire). i had the eq set to flat and loud turned off on the headunit and i had it up to about volume 26 and this sub is barely moving (wired to 3ohms off an orion 2500d, so ~1400rms to the sub and recommended is ~1000rms to 13w7). any reason why this sub isn't wanging like it should? *edit* also, everytime i touch the headunit, i can hear some kind of low poppy-ish sound from the sub like the headunit is interfering with the sub. it does it when i press the buttons to change stations and turn up the volume. but i have a remote i can use for the hu..
