[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1384945, member: 561023"] I would suggest you have the wrong set of preouts feeding your speaker amp and sub amp. Check that first. The volume control for the sub preouts shouldn't have any effect whatsoever on the rest of the system excepting being connected incorrectly. Cranking the gains wide open is never a good idea. This leads to clipped amp output and eventually, driver failure. Remember: The gain is an input sensitivity adjustment - not an amplifier volume control. Set the gains according to the method outlined [URL="http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=63933"]here.[/URL] If the output isn't what you were expecting after that then I would suggest either you are expecting more from the sub than it is capable of or it is in an enclosure that isn't right for it.
