[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7763179, member: 628688"] You need to reset the gain with the head unit volume turned up higher. Also, set the subwoofer level about mid-way or even higher if needed to get adequate output. At +15 that's actually 0 dB, so when you turn it down it's attenuating the subwoofer level. You need to have the volume higher than 20 out of 30 because you're not even close to the rated 2V output. Make sure the test tone is attenuated and not 0 dB. -5 or so is good so you get more output. When you set the gain all you're doing is matching up the head unit's output and the amplifier's input. They need to be on the same level so when you turn the volume up you're making the amplifier work like it should - not too little and not too much. [/QUOTE]
