[QUOTE="blackwind, post: 415260, member: 550092"] oh right now i remembered what i wanted to say, in reference to your question about why the 1200.1 isn't living up to it's 'reputation... a few things you should try. first, are you getting the 4v output from the sub out on that alpine unit? (there is a control for that right?) make sure it's set at the highest level, this is different from sending the amp a clipped signal... in my experience with PG amps (the titanium series mostly) a line driver is almost crucial for an optimum output level. then again, unless you have a super high volt extra low impedence unit (alpines are good for that) the LD isn't necessary. but if you got something that boosted the signal to 8v rms, i think you'd be seeing more of what you were looking for. (all pg amps can get 8vrms no sweat) so if you can borrow a line driver and see how it works, or get a PG one from ebay, that'll help a ton. [/QUOTE]
