Kenwood Excelon KDC-X995 Issue

[TechFreak 10+ year member]

I am having an issue where the Subwoofer doesn't kick in until volume on the Kenwood is around 20-22. Not sure what setting I am missing that can fix this.

I included the pdf download for the radio to see if anybody sees something I missed.

Amp is an Alpine MRP650.

Need to know what sub your running. How the amps gain was sent along with the lowpass filter and the subsonic filter. Head unit settings should be flat eq, loud should be off, and the subwoofer adjustment should be at max level not to be confused with bass boost. Never use bass boost if you don't know why search bass boost in the upper right corner of the screen. If you can get a pick of the amplifiers dials as currently set and confirm the head unit settings are correct we can better diagnose the problem.

I'll check the settings later today. The sub is a SSA " Dcon D4"

This could be a number of problems. You need to start at the hi rcas and work your way back on a low volume like 5 playing a tone. A volt meter might not read low enough so I'd recommend an o scope. It might not be the hi that is the issue.
