Did you check all the fuses? I take it that you did this install? Seems to me you dont really know what you are doing being you had your gains set too high. If I was you go to someone that knows what they are doing. Maybe they can get your highs going again.

if you knew what you were doing you wouldnt just turn your gains to 3/4 and call it square. you have to level match things. every system is differant therefore all gain settings are differant.

i think ur confusing 3/4 gains to 3/4 volume on headunit

dont go over 3/4 volume on your headunit when setting your gains by ear or by dmm. most headunit clip not to much further after 3/4 the volume limit. for alpine i think it goes up to 35 - 36, i leave mine at 28 - 29 no higher. 29 for low volume level recorded music

next time when i get my stuff back im doing the gain setting tourtial this time with the dmm and test tones

 

[Kriszilla 10+ year member]

but the reason why i had it on 3/4 way on gains because i did my research on here and most people with hifonics u can set ur gains high but i guess its all lies

You can set the gains high on any amp. The question is whether or not your speakers can handle it.

Ideallly, you need to set the gain so that you prevent clipping, but if you're running more power than your speakers can handle you need to back the gain off even more or it's Viking Funeral time.
