Well as soon as she's asleep, play half volume and go to town making adjustments.
Congratulations on the daughter, by the way.

Thanks bro. I will post my progress later....if there is any. Lol

Check you RCA's AQ are really sensible to input voltage, i had a problem with my HU and the preamp voltage was really low, my profile amp works nice, but my AQ barely put some power, then i put my EQ to get a better voltage and everything is fine, until recently that the is starting to get some life, and goes into protection without a reason i can find.

did you tie plastic army men to popsicle stick crosses as a child? Then put lighter fluid on them and melt them? That would cause the issues you are having.

i checked that yesterday. i thought that may have been a prob because im runnin my stock head unit with the PAC LOC. i fooled around with that for like 30 minutes with no luck. but the guys on here mentioned the LPF and the gain being mixed up. so im hopin thats it. thanks tho. More than likely i will sell the amp because i dont like stress. lol. just get a diff one

My M3's have to have the lpf like half also to get full output.I think its b/c aq/dd have their xover start @ 20hz and not 50hz like alot of other amps and it seems the aq/dd amps xover actually works where other amps dont do crap if you crank the xover up. I went through the same thing when I first got my m3's. I was like wtf is wrong with these things till i turned that xover up.
