[QUOTE="dbertoli, post: 8068958, member: 653544"] ... The gain is turned up on the amps powering the subs.. not the stock amp the gain cannot be adjusted on that. The volume is loud because I am sending a higher voltage to the stock amp then the stock HU would, and there is a setting on the HU to turn off the amplified signal coming from the aftermarket HU. Either way that is not the problem. The problem is that the two pioneer amps I have each driving one PG Octane R10, are not pumping. Now I have a normal rca cable running form the HU to the amps. When I plug both left and right channel into the amp, the sound is crap and not very loud. regardless of the gain setting. IF I remove either the left or right channel and leave only one channel plugged in to one amp it sounds fine. SO lets say we have one amp plugged in with one channel of the rca cable. and then I have the other channel of the rca cable plugged into the other amp. The sound is just as crappy as having both channels plugged into one amp. Unplug one of the channels, and it sounds good again. I'm pretty sure its going to have something to do with the voltage running through the rca and being split to two amps. [SIZE=8px]---------- P[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
