AQ2200D problem.....i hope

[808skindiver 10+ year member]

ok i talked to dj today and i checked some things. my coils are right. i took the subs out and checked it. it was reading 1.6 ohm on the multi meter. my hu does not have a subwoofer control but the bass control is turned up on the hu. dj said it could be that the rca's are junk or my deck is just a peice (kenwood 132). i know somthing is wrong because that 2200 watt amp should be flapping the axis silly with the gain up.

get an mp3 player or ipod and grab an 1/8" mini jack to rca adapter and test with that as a source instead of your head unit. if it works, try connecting the mp3 player to your rca cables and see if that works. Basically just troubleshoot it piece by piece.

i went through all the troubleshooting with dj and it still was not putting out enough power. i am returning it tomorrow and he is going to check it out.

does anyone else agree that that amp should slap that axis silly?

you got one sub right? if so it should your giving it the rms rating. But dont worry about it. Dj will fix it. DJ = Pro

yes its only one sub. it seemed like the amp was putting out less than half power for some reason??

the volts on the hu.

i would think its the volts on the hu but i hooked it up to my friends truck with a 5 volt HU and it was doing the same thing??

How is it the voltage on the head unit? If you set the gains properly with the dmm than it should be putting out proper power and after you set your gain you should not mess with boost/SW settings on the head unit. The head unit pre out voltage means nothing to how loud your setup is, this is of course the reason for the gain. If you had a HU with 5v pre outs your gain would be set really low.
