[QUOTE="rodneypierce, post: 7641421, member: 639381"] at the recommended readings it was horrible. I had to turn the HU almost all the way up to get any volume out of it, and the sub was still very faint. Now that I turned them up roughly another 1/4 of a turn, its much much better, and the sub hits fairly well. I think there is still some to be had there, but it sounds much better. No distortion or anything that I can pick up with my ear. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt going to be clipping. Is it maybe the amp is just that under rated or efficient? I mean, when the total rated RMS power of the amp is being achieved when the gains are only half way up just didnt seem right to me. [/QUOTE]
