[QUOTE="Phreaker, post: 2160658, member: 567899"] don't use the x-over on the HU and use just the ones on the Amp. Also the MA's don't do rated power untill you give them 17v. Also your HU's volume is too high probably and that's why you'll get distortion. Unhook the subs and play a cd and turn the HU volume up untill you hear distortion,once you hear distortion back the volume off a bit untill her is no more distortion.....this is your HU's max unclipped volume and it should not be turned up anymore then that so write the number of your HU's max unclipped volume down and use that volume while setting your gains with a 50Hz odb test tone. Don't ever use bass boost,don't set the gain all the way up or your subs will go bye bye real quick like. Again the MA's don't do rated power unless you run them off a 17v power supply and all cars have a 12.5v (Battery) and 14.4v (Alternator) power supply. So your only option as I see it is keep the amp and upgrade your cars electrical for 14.4v to 17v or get rid of the amp and get one that does rated power at 14.4v. [/QUOTE]
