[QUOTE="dennis09x, post: 5220239, member: 596822"] So i got a stetsom 2k6d and a re xxx 12" new model wired to 4 ohms. So possibly ~2100 watts or so. Gains are all the way up on the amp and the HU eq is all zero. Only way i can get ANY real thump is if i turn the HU sub level up (which i believe is just a built in gain knob).When i do turn the level up to high, the clipping light comes on, on the amp. 2 runs of 4 gauge to the rear, 100 amp alt. The amp has 4 gauge for power input and i have a deka batt up front and kinetik 2400 in the rear. Voltage shows drop from 14.3 to 12.7 at volume 28/35 (no bass boost) with slight clipping on musical highs on late night tip. Pretty good output at that level, but horribly low output below 20/35 without bass boost. And horribly low output on any other song that isn't super bass heavy (rock, pop, metal) without bass boost up. gonna go buy a DMM and check some shiz. any advice on what to check, where to start, any solutions...etc... thanks for taking the time to read and any help you can give me...thank you.
