Okay so I'm running a sundown saz3000d on dc lvl4's and a pioneer deh-x7500s hu....my problem is that I can turn the volume all the way to the max and my bass just isn't there !! sub level on hu is all the way up, gain on amp is more than half subs wired to 1 ohm all wires connected properly as far as I can tell It's hard to explain but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have another amp you could test with?If so hook it to the dc's.Start that way maybe.

Its really hard to say without being there. I always start with the wiring. Always assume you have made a mistake first before running out and buyng new equipment. Either something is wired wrong or head unit or amp is set wrong. Just keep checking until you find the mistake.

No prob.Yeah i'd just start with the rca's.maybe the deck.Switch the rca's to front channel or rear and see if that brings any better result also.
