[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8766487, member: 676743"] Okay as someone who has a Cab-22 the subsonic should be 2-3 hz below the box tuning. And the gain on it should be set at about 65-68 volts using a 40hz test tone, I used 0db but I know a lot of people use -3 with good results. I plan on re-doing my gains on the -3 to see what kind of difference I end up. You are wired right as well inside the box. If you are higher then that 65-68 volts then you are too high on the gain. Sundown set there's at 69-70 roughly but each amplifier will be a little different. I was able to set mine at 68 volts with no issues. Also I wired mine with the outer Positive and outer Negative vs what you did, just looked at it sitting on the shelf and yep that is how it was wired. I think you are going to high on the radio and that the gain isn't set right. I couldn't get above 25-30 depending on the song with that amp with a pair of Audio Legion 10" Armada's and it was the same with the SIA 3.5K on those. Anything higher is just too loud and could cause clipping. [/QUOTE]
