[QUOTE="confuseid, post: 4560105, member: 592817"] I am not using my amplifier to power my rear deck speakers, as I am keeping them stock. Maybe I am missing something, but is that what you mean? I am trying to run the front component speakers that I listed off the amplifier. The mids and the tweeters are indeed plugged into channels 1 and 2. I am not running anything off channels 3 and 4. I did run new speaker wire. I am not using factory speaker wire. I tapped into the kick panel. Just for clarity's sake I will write this on a sentence of its own: [B][I]I am only using my amplifier to power my front components.[/I][/B] Here are some pictures of the setup, if you need anything specific, let me know and I will be more than happy to go to the car and take pictures: [COLOR=darkgreen][B]Crossovers put underneath seats.[/B][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/dghigginson/DSCF0839.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=darkgreen][B]Wiring put underneath carpet along sides of car.[/B][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/dghigginson/DSCF0840.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=darkgreen][B]Wiring going up from back of rear seats to amplifier in trunk.[/B][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/dghigginson/DSCF0841.jpg[/IMG] [B][COLOR=darkgreen]Amplifier in trunk (before mounting).[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/dghigginson/DSCF0842.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=darkgreen][B]Alpine iDA-x100 Headunit[/B][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/dghigginson/DSCF0843.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Crossovers.[/B][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/dghigginson/DSCF0836.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Wires used in front doors for speakers and tweeters.[/B][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn202/dghigginson/DSCF0838.jpg[/IMG] Just to clarify some things and answer some questions: I haven't touched the gain at all, I left it as the amplifier came. I will try what you said though, turn it all the way counter-clockwise, then turn it clockwise to the halfway position?
