[QUOTE="Stel, post: 3101674, member: 574698"] That amp puts out about 300rms @ 12v to your IDMAX which is rated at 1000rms. I doubt thats enough for a 12" sealed IDMAX. Try a more powerful amp if you want optimum performance and more bass. Though if you already have too much bass maybe that amp is fine. With the gains all the way up you are likely clipping the signal to your amp. This can really make the sub sound bad (and sometimes damage it or the amp). Just set the gains correctly or it will be distorted. The gain setting tutorials are listed here: [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=206371"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=206371[/URL] btw, what did they set the crossover point to?
