[QUOTE="whitedragon551, post: 8604891, member: 608181"] 1. Bass boost is distortion. Turn it off. 2. The gain is not a volume knob. Set it correctly. There are tons of threads in the knowledge base on how to do that. 3. And never go 8awg wire. Always do a 4awg minimum. Always go atleast 1 size larger than you need. You will upgrade again in the future. 4. Whats the XOver frequency set at on the amp? 5. Is your sub dual 2 ohm voice coils or is it dual 4? If its dual 2 they may have wired it to 1ohm at the amp and that amp cant handle that. I would take the sub out of the box and look at how the voice coils are wired and post pictures of the wiring and the readings from a digital multi meter. [/QUOTE]
