Brahma not really loud

Absolutely not. The wiring is 100% correct.

you asked, someone suggest.. then you correct them by saying it's wired right. We don't have much to go on so how much help anyone will be.. well see what i'm saying?

I'm not familiar with the big belle amps, but is it possible it has some sort of bridge/fader button or switch? I know there is a button the the Kicker ZX series (the multi-channels at least) that basically give all channels the signal from one RCA input. Like, if your running your front stage off of 4 channels instead of just two, you can hit the button and it'll only use one set of RCA's instead of the two normally required.

Just an idea //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I'm not turning this into an argument. I'm simply saying the wiring is 100% correct. Each wire was triple checked. Rcas were run one at a time and connected. The wiring is correct. Period. If anyone else has some ideas that would be great.

I noticed my sub amp still sends a signal to my subs when the rca is disconnected too. I also am positive that my wires are ran correctly. I just figured it had something to do with the way my remote wire is ran (head unit to 2-channel amp, and then a wire is connected to that wire and ran to my sub amp).

Interesting suggestion. There is no button or switch that I can see on it... Maybe it bridges internally? Time to read up.

lol you probably do not have your amp set up wrong if the sub is playing while the sub rca is out of the amp. have you ever used a 5 chan before?

I didn't think it was set up wrong to begin with. I just found it odd that the sub received a signal without the sub rca. And no, this is my first 5 channel. Tell me what I need to know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

iirc, wasnt the Brahmas Pe 1600 watts

Brahmas are rated 600rms. That 1600wrms rating was some IEC -??? rating, which, IMO was quite deceiving.
