Did you adjust the gain on the amplifier? Any LOC operating as intended will let the amplifier make rated power, as long as it's a good quality amplifier. You won't be able to listen to the system and just "know" that it's making XXX watts because we don't hear that way.
ok so i thought it wasnt getting full power but now that ive played a few songs and what not i see that the highs well higher bass notes hit hard but my sub isnt picking up the lows its strange anything i can do im getting a deck soon but untill then?
