[QUOTE="jdubbau, post: 6013766, member: 603492"] Well I dont know if my amp just is not working right, if I have it hooked up wrong or if I just do not have the proper equipment to hook it up right? I have an AB 700.1 a 7k amp ant 1 ohm and it is not doing near that as a matter of fact I have 2 batteries on under hood AGM, and a group 31 in the back AGM and I dont beleive I have been able to get the voltage to drop below 13.9 volts. Normally people do not complain about this but when my amp is not doin NEAR what it should and I can turn it up pretty high on gain and bass bost and it still does the same I got to have something wrong? I think I may have the RCA's hooked up wrong but it was doing this before when it was hooked up differently too. Here is what I have going on now. DVD player 8 Inch sony Deck--Has two single sub outs (that where being used but are not now) I have the F Right and F Left RCA's coming out of the Deck into the back of a Epic Four.1 under MAIN INPUT. The only other input is Aux input. I then have my mids and High amp ( Soundstream Rubicon 702) running off of the Front RCA plug in on the Epic four.1 and the Sub amp RCA's running to the Rear RCA plugs on the Epic four.1. I had the amp tested before I did all this at a car audio shop and they just hooked a multimeter up to it and said I was onl drawing 80 amps from my sub amp at full throttle??? I then changed the set up and installed the Eq above and now have it installed like this listed above. It is much better but still NO WHERE near what it should be doing. Are my RCA's hooked up wrong, Do I need another EQ with sub outs. Do I need to r run myy Remote wire? I dont know where to go from here guys and hope it is something easy that most would miss. Can YOU ALL help me out? [/QUOTE]
