[QUOTE="qkassidyw, post: 4894417, member: 598965"] Depending on who installed the old setup I am guessing they did not adjust the gain on the HI-Level converter. The default setting on the converters is maxed out so you were feeding about 16V to the input of your amp with the stock setup. I don't know how many volts your pre outs are now but at most 5 which is nowhere near what the old setup was seeing. Make sure you didn't change your LPF settings on the amp, make sure the RCA's for the sub amp are indeed connected to the subwoofer output on the deck. If they aren't AND you have the HP filter turned on then you will get no Lows to the sub. Most likely it is the Hi Level was maxed out though.... As for the wiring, as long as you split it close to the amplifiers then it shouldn't make that huge of a difference, if the wire is not getting hot then you are OK. [/QUOTE]
