[QUOTE="caraudionewb, post: 3272787, member: 579908"] Hi, I have two Rockford p210d4 4 ohm subs hooked up bridged to a rockford p5002 amp. I tried this method, and my subs were crackling and making bad noises like zapping/ electrical sorta after I increased the gains until 44.7 v. The subs and amp are new, and before I had the gain on 0. This was also at a much lower volume than what I tested them at. I have an Eclipse cd4000 hu, and the volume was on 55 when I did the voltmeter gain setting, after when I hooked back up the subs, they were crackling on 45. I turned the gain back down until they sounded OK, which was from about 2/3 when I tested it back to about 1/3. I have the lp on 80, and everything on 0 except sub volume is the highest it can go. Bass boost is 1/4 or less. The subs are so quiet, you can barely hear them. Is that normal for these subs? Can someone help me out? This is the first time I installed an amplifier before, but I think I did everything OK. Sorry this is so long.
