[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8704517, member: 679555"] You pretty much solved your own issue by saying "next time i will be at least measuring with a multimeter the gains." What THATpurpleKUSH said is the reality of it. Gain is not a volume knob. If you've got a way lesser RMS value speaker you need to be sure you're not feeding it too much power because the clipping lights aren't going to save the speaker. As for your left/right side issue with the signal you say no LOC was used. Where are they RCAs from? It sounds like they probably used the speaker outputs right to the amp. Whichever method they used though the proper way is for both sides to be connected. If they didn't connect one side it means either they didn't bother hooking it up to all 4 wires, they did do all 4 but reversed polarity and then left a pair out to get more volume, the pair you're not hearing is shorted and that's no beuno, or the pair you're missing is open circuited so the connection failed. If it suddenly comes back it will affect your volume, and if you're not quick on the dial it could damage something. [/QUOTE]
