[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8363725, member: 650438"] I'm not talking about Equalizers. High pass filter is what cuts the lower bass signals from going to your door speakers. Low pass filters is what blocks your subs from playing vocals and midbass. Pretty sure if you dont know what those are, thats the reason why you've blown your door speakers. Now on to your clipping issue. That amp accepts 4 gauge wire. Your soundquest wire is 6 gauge AT BEST. Whats worse is that its low quality aluminium. The voltage reading at your amp is probably very low and the amp is not fed proper current which causes clipping. First thing i'd do is upgrade your power wire to at least 1/0 gauge CCA if you are on a tight budget because you are eventually upgrading amps anyways. Soundquest garbage wires gotta go. Your gains are also probably set wrong. Now try to reset your gain again, lower amp gain down. Turn the volume up to where you normally listen to (activate your friggen high pass filters to protect your speakers this time) turn up the subwoofer level to max, play a 50hz test tone. Set your extended amp bass remote on max, then on your amp gain knob turn it up slowly until the clipping light lights up. [/QUOTE]
