[QUOTE="cheeto, post: 4144910, member: 583683"] Ok, so I finally got time/got off my *** to do some stuff. 1. I checked the RCA's on the HU and throughout the car. No pinches or anything. They were plugged into the HU on the Subwoofer output thing. 2. I re-checked the gain. Set it at 40 volume this time... when it was set at 42, going from 42 to 40 gave the amp 10 less volts. 3. I sealed the leak around the wire terminal, I think that helped a wee bit. 4. I re-checked all the hpf's and lpf's in my car... LPF is off but HPF is still there, cuz I cant turn it off. 5. Checked the amp for like 15 minutes, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm thinking the only problems now could be: 1. I expected too much for a single 15 on 600RMS 2. 600RMS isn't enough for the sub 3. The box is shit 4. The amp is shit (it's an infinity so idk) 5. The VC's got messed up I'm gonna buy a DMM that can actually measure things below 1000 ohms. If that's not the problem, then the amp may be messed up. If not, I'll build a new box over the weekend if possible. I'll make sure not to split any wood this time.. that could have an effect on it too. What do you guys think? Is the aq just a bad driver? I mean I know the HDC3's own, but shit... Maybe it's my box. IDK. [/QUOTE]
