[QUOTE="subzero, post: 6878429, member: 600350"] when you say that you have been messing around with changing the sound. I assume that you have been playing with the gain settings too. When I look at your setup I immediatly thing that your wires are to thin. You might need to slap 4 gauge on each amp and 0 gauge from battery to the fuse block and distroblock. Next you need to make sure you dont have that four channel clipping any drivers. You could turn the gain up and cut the high pass freq up, but then your pulling current away from the sub amp.
