try adjusting your high pass/low pass filter on your stereo

low pass on the amp have it high up, to the max AKA off.

Go to your head unit's low pass put it at 80hz

Go to the head unit's sub level reduce it down to zero or negative. Now Play your hardest hitting song, then raise the sub level until it stops getting louder or the bass tone starts changing, then back it down 2 levels.

How do I change the low pass on my head unit I can't find it its a pioneer single din head unit also I don't think my head unit had a sub level only a sub control which allows me to change the hz and the bass boost

thats basically what it is. A sub level and a low pass filter. If its not, then you'll have to Play around and explore a bit more. We can only help if you are willing to help yourself.

yeah, you would have been fine with the ppi amp though. Sundown 1000 is pretty overpriced imo unless you get it used. Could have gotten a used crescendo 2000 or soundqubed 2200 with 300$

If you got it for less than that then its all good.

Had the exact same problem with my sae-1200d within a month after I got it(bnib). I had no problems the whole time I had my PPI p1000.1, and I regretted the swap.

I was ready to throw the thing in the trash when I took it apart and saw the build quality.





Check and see if this little wire(ground?) is burned up like mine was.

Dang that looks bad. Well I fixed the issue of the high bass I had to change some settings around on my hu and the amp and now I got my truck roof flexing and its in a sealed box the amp gain isn't even a quarter turned on the amp I had my ppi at full gain and it barely moved theses subs and would cut out all the time had to turn the car off and back on every time it happened couldn't even turn the volume past 20 my hu goes to 62
