Car audio isn’t huge up here so I’m trying to source a good shop that can look into everything.  For reference I’ve got a 2020 F150 with 4 8” Audio mobile subwoofers (600rms each) custom sealed box, soundigital 5k amp (Wired to 4 ohms), LC2i line output converter and 0 gauge wiring. The shop originally used the LC1i line output converter which doesn’t compensate for OEM roll off. (This factory B&O system is brutal for it) While they swapped it out for the LC2i they noticed that the amp had cooked itself (Soundesign 3k wired to 1ohm) so they swapped it for the 5k model and wired it to 4 ohms instead of 1. They said that there wasn’t enough air circulation behind the back seat and it got too hot too many times.  So they decided to throw in a bigger amp and re wire the subs to keep the heat down. I haven’t messed with too many settings yet. It’s definitely not as loud as before and I’ve clipped it a few times without really pushing it. It doesn’t seem to clip on the higher bass notes. It shouldn’t be a wiring issue and the subs shouldn’t be underpowered by any means right? Those seemed to be the biggest reasons on the videos I’ve watched that cause clipping. The gain on the amp is only set at 1/3 and the bass boost at 0 on the amp. I’ve added a few pics to help. Anything obvious I’m missing here? The windshield wipers use to move pretty good before even at half volume (Max volume before the OEM bass roll off would pull the subs back with the LC1i) I definitely can’t turn them up that much anymore without risk of wrecking something. Thanks for any help!</blockquote>
