[QUOTE="ShiningBuick, post: 7250393, member: 578641"] .5 gain is usually like 2/3 of the way turned up... .5 means .5v line level input, AKA super low, so thus gain would be cranked. For example, setting the gain to "4" would be pretty low. Anways, I think they may have hit the nail on the head, tapping into the inputs of the amp and not the outputs. That'd be my first guess. Check your voltage across the pwr and gnd terminals, should be very close to system voltage. Also, I've seen LOCs be goofy before. Make sure you're tapped into the speaker level signal, then tie both the - LOC inputs, and both the + LOC inputs together, and tie into one pair of speaker wires.. that'll make 100% sure you got the phase properly wired. Also, check the "gain" on the LOC, those can be turned way down from factory sometimes. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
