[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8769251, member: 591582"] Even if people give you sh*t for needing help, don't worry about it. We all need audio help, sometimes. What you're describing is a common issue and even installers can have this exact same issue. Sometimes it's very tough to figure out, because there's so many things that could cause this exact problem. What you have to do is a process of elimination. -Does your head unit have a subwoofer level/volume/output controller that goes from something like 0-15? [B][U]-What voltage RCA outputs does your head unit have?[/U][/B] -Are you sure the correct RCA output from the radio is hooked up to the sub amp? -May check your RCA's too, sometimes RCA's can be partially working, so the system will only partially play. -Double check that your sub is reading one ohm and that each voice coil on the sub is hooked up and reading 2 ohms and a wire hasn't fallen out or something from the VC terminal/connections. It sounds like something electronic is wrong here, maybe low signal input into the amp or maybe amps settings aren't the best. I can tell you right now, if I design a ported box for that Kicker L7 10, it'll be much louder, but I think your primary issue here isn't that. -Can you show us a pic of your amp settings? Gain, crossovers, etc? [/QUOTE]
