[QUOTE="jar1zx, post: 8112664, member: 630453"] Ok calm down a bit take a big breath..... Ok better? turn all bass gains to 0 on radio and all the way down on the amp and turn sub out back to 0db on the HU. Ok now find you a 0db 40hz test tone turn up radio till it distorts then back off a lil make sure you had amp gain all the way down. Now with same 40hz test tone turn up the gain till the 40 hz test tone sounds like it changes to a different note (like 41hz or 42) now back gain off just a hair till it sounds like 40hz again. Have engine running while you do this and now you will be a lot closer on your gain. When you add all big 3, the extra 0gauge and alternator do this again. This should hold you over for a lil while to you get something to set gains with the right way. [/QUOTE]
