[QUOTE="C1968366, post: 8749439, member: 683219"] [I]Hey guys, as stated I’m having some issues after my install in my car. I’ve installed subs before but I had an aftermarket head unit and no troubles [/I] I’m having issues with getting any bass out of the system after install. In order to hear anything you would have to flip switch on the amp to 12DB, turn up the gain, and turn up the bass on the LC2 [I]know. Everything I’m using is here I’ll go over everything I did and if anyone has any input or sees where I could try something different 2 Skar 12’s SDR RP-1200.1D Skar amp LC2i LOC The car has a factory amp. It also has the factory head unit which I would like to keep [/I] from reading on different forums and what I was told I could go from right before the passenger rear speaker for input to the LC2, so I ran that there. I have insulated and ground circuits figured out and secure. Fused at the battery and grounded through body with an existing bolt that was there. Used the GTO on the LC2 to switch on the amp. Everything seems to switch on and off perfectly okay. I double checked my ground with a jumper to see if maybe it wasn’t strong enough. I also ran some jumpers across from the drivers side rear door to add onto the LC2 for both sides of input and I didn’t gain much. Just a little. Nothing like how those subs should be hitting I have double checked polarity with the right channel and swapped back and forth and I have done the same with the RCA’s the only thing I could think of just by reading around is I should run the input wires for both channels to the LC2 straight from the head unit instead of post amp..
