Couple different ideas for you. I own a Pioneer 80 and it's fine for me concerning subwoofer output.

Make sure you are NOT doubling up on crossovers. If you are using the one on the deck, make sure the one on the amp is either turned off or turned all the way up to the maximum frequency setting. Secondly double check your Subsonic filter and make sure it's not set too high. I am looking at the manual for the SAX-1200D, but I assume the pre-amp section is the same. If it is turn the LPF to 300Hz and the Subsonic to 10Hz and see what your output is like then. Also check your remote level control if you have it hooked up and make sure it is turned up.

That was totally the problem, posted a video fixing it right before your post Q_Q opened up the deck LPF and everything came to life. @80Hz hardly anything was getting to the sub, 200Hz LPF on the deck fixed it.

ahahahahhahahahhaha

Honestly, why is it that people who I have never met are awesome help and cool as hell. But the people who I meet face to face, and get paid to do this ****. Have no idea whats going on.. I asked them, (when I was their trying to figure this out, I haven't gone back) about the deck. The owner said "I don't know anything about decks", guy who did my install, "I dont know man".. They didn't even recognize the deck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif They thought it was garbage, and wanted to blame me for putting "way to much power" on the SA8 when the measured 700RMS.. Anyway.. It just rustles my jimmies when people who make a living at this have no **** clue.

personally I'd turn amp LPF all the way up and use the LPF on the HU, so you know exactly where it's set at....

This.....and you can adjust it on the fly.
