have you tuned the gain on the amp?

I would probably just use the gain and bass boost as a volume knob:fyi:

Is your lpf set to high or your subsonic frequency?

I bet it's a crossover issue or impedance problem...make sure your crossover is set to around 70 or 80hz, if it's set too low you won't hear much bass at all.

i had to turn my LPF up.

it was all the way down and i threw it in and didn't check it. It was barely audible. I have mine at about half way.

what really gets me is that there are 4 spots for speakers to plug in but i have it wired the same way it tells me how to on the rockford fosgate wireing wizard....pos. to pos. neg. to neg. then pos. to pos and neg. to neg. on all coils
