[QUOTE="amartin_72, post: 1651324, member: 564679"] Its obvious that the LOC is miswired. An amplifier puts out AC signals which alternate from positive to negative back and forth at different frequencies. If one of the signals is telling the amp to push the sub OUT and the otherone is saying IN. then they are cancelling. taking out one of them will make it louder. If you have two channels of signal from the deck they are sending out aproximatley the same AC Signal. When your amp sums the mismatched signals inside they are out of phase and cancel eachother out. If you have a home stereo with two subs try mismatching the wires on one sub/speaker and listening to it, barely any bass at all. When you have the inputs out of phase your cancelling your input before it is even amplified. WHen you fade it left or right it attenuates the other signal that is cancelling the oppisite signal, hence more output. When you unhook one of them, the sub is then playing only the one signal and it is better than the summed signal that is fighting itself from the two exactly opposite inputs. Get it re-wired, somehow. [/QUOTE]
