Hello I don't know much about car audio tuning so was wondering if any one could help me out on how to wire/setup my cars sub. I have a 12 kicker l7 2ohm one, with a hifonics brutus elite 1100.1d amp. I bought it and I just dropped it in my car haven't changed anything from previous owner settings but It don't sound as loud as my friends l7 wondering If maybe something is connected wrong

Provided some pics on how there wired inside box it's in and how it's connected on amp

Ive had these issues with HF amps it's almost like you have to turn all the settings up on the amp to get anything out of it. Check your frequency settings and turn them all the way up. Turn your gain higher too. And I don't want to hear people bitching at me for this because HF amps are different.

It's a mono block amp, the speakers are bridged down to 1 ohm I think not sure

Appreciate the offer but i really dont have much time with work and all. Earlier today took the sub out to see how it was wired and it was really hot, pretty sure was overheating, and I have not turned it up at at all. Should I get a smaller amp? I have a powerbass 800 watt and a Rockford Fosgate 250.2 laying around
