[QUOTE="iblue, post: 8294940, member: 657114"] I was given a new headunit, subwoofer, 4 channel amp and a pair of speakers for my car as a gift. I have everything installed but for some reason I can't figure out why the subwoofer sounds so weak. I've set up car audio successfully before (I'm still amateur). I messed around with the knobs on the amp, but can't seem to get a good thump going. This is my first time using a 4 channel amp and a dual voice coil subwoofer. Here's all of my components.
