New system installed… maybe my expectations are too high?

[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8922583, member: 675210"] I'm telling you... to get max voltage out of the Kenwood eXcelon subwoofer RCA's you will need to be at volume 39-40 on the head unit to get right near or at 5v to send to the sub amp. At volume 28 where you said the speakers were screaming the Kenwood is only sending way less than 2v to the sub amp. This will make the speakers loud as you described and the subs would sound pathetic by comparison. Set the sub crossover in the head unit to 80 - Set the crossover to 250 on the amp - Turn off the subsonic filter on the amp - NOW!!!!! DO THIS FIRST!!! Set the sub volume at 10 inside the Kenwood!!! Turn the bass knob to max Play a 40hz test tone and turn the amplifier gain up slowly. KEEP THE HEAD UNIT VOLUME AT 26ish. If you can't get it to slam this way then something is actually wrong.
