[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7224511, member: 629234"] that actually is a bad *** amp, i think the settings just need some tweaking. i wouldn't pay mind to the factory wiring unless it is something like nissan 22-24awg, then it could pose a problem 75w+ that ss should be able to do 100w, so the only problem i see is clipping. one thing about the gains- i like to believe i can audibly decern distortion just fine and set my gains accordingly to where everything can peak simultaneously. rarely, do i ever set one of mty own amp gains below 1/2, and usually between 2/3 and full, depending on the hu. make sure the bass is low on the hu, and all other settings are decent, and turn those components up.... provided you don't encounter distortion. i stand behind my previous tatement...... the average novice will smoke infinity's from about 5 years ago on rated power. they really don't like it, and have a poor efficiency:peak ratio....imho. i have to admit, i have a mild buzz goin, but if the bass is drowning the mids/highs, then try adjusting the hu and gains accordingly...
