[QUOTE="pntballindude, post: 1384927, member: 564401"] I just got this hooked up and it sounds nice... but not all what I expected. I am starting to question how well I did my install. Hopefully you guys can help me. I ran 4 guage wire to a Orion 1200D. The orion is hooked up to a 12" type R in a sealed box. The fused I am running is 80a. And if it matters, my headunit has 2v preouts. In order for me to get a nice thump out of my woofer I have to have the gain all the way cranked up. My friend said that was just because I only have 2v preouts. Also, on my deck there is a seperate control to adjust the volume of the woofer. When I turn it up and down however, the bass from the speakers will raise or lower with it. Also, is a 80a fuse big enough for my amp? Im running it at 2ohms and I believe the 1200D is rated at 725watts at 2 ohms... Also, does the wire from the amp to the sub matter? I don't know what guage it is... but it is very skinny. Thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
