[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 7215346, member: 628688"] You need to properly set the gain. You can find out how to do this by searching. Setting the gain all the way up is not very smart. Even if the subs can handle all the power that amp can make, you may already be sending them a distorted signal. I've read that most people can't hear distortion through subs until it's a very high percent, far higher than what it takes to hear it through your speakers. You should unhook the speaker wires you have going to the box and test the impedance with a DMM. You want to see roughly 2-3 Ohms. If it's higher that could indicate why your subs sound quiet.
