[QUOTE="ethik, post: 8783354, member: 685357"] Hello, I feel like I can push more power out of my system and would like some suggestions on how to do that. Here is my build: [LIST] [*]250A Mechman HO alternator [*]Big 4 with 1/0 gauge SHCA OFC [*]XS Power D5100R [*]Sundown Audio SIA 3500 [*]Sundown Audio X Series v.3 10" 2 ohm DVC (wired to 1 ohm) [*]1.3 cubic foot ported box tuned to 33hz [*]Pioneer AVIC-8200NEX [/LIST] The sub is loud but the amp clipping indicator light on the remote turns on earlier than I would expect it to. I have the subwoofer set to +10 (out of 10) on my deck and the gain around 1/3 of the way up. No bass boost on amp. I think the shop that installed the wire in my car used 1/0 gauge CCA (fail). Also, I didn't see a lot of resistance on a multimeter between the amp ground and battery ground. I am thinking I need better wiring from the battery to the amp, a second battery, or some tuning. Thanks [/QUOTE]
