[QUOTE="Plutoman, post: 5428749, member: 601528"] Whole setup is horribly wrong. Pioneer's are rated for 40 RMS. Polk's for 60 RMS. Amp puts out 85 RMS to each channel. You should NOT bridge the amp, run each speaker to a separate channel. Set the gains low, way low, for the pioneer's, and slightly low for the polk's. You can't turn those up enough to compensate for the subs... If you've bridged the amp, you've probably ran it @ 8 ohms, and are putting about 170 RMS, depending on the gains, to each side. [/QUOTE]
