[QUOTE="fithwheel, post: 8662979, member: 674179"] Good at least you're starting to listen. Thought u were a lost cause. I suspect your whole set up is off. I'd suggest fixing the messy wiring 1st. Like I said I'm not familiar with that amp. However there's probably a switch on it marked hp (high pass) ap (all pass) and l.p. (low pass). Put that on ap. Use the low pass crossover for your sub in your head unit. Start out at 80 Hz. U can go up a little or down a little whatever you like best. Research how to set gains by ear. You'll want the subwoofer level on the head unit set to max when you set your gain. Hopefully you have the amp wired bridged correctly. Since you're using the head units amplifier it probably starts clipping at around 3/4 volume. Research what clipping is if you don't know. After you determine where your hu starts clipping one notch below that will be your max volume and where you want the volume at when u set your gain. I also suggest not using bass boost at the amp or hu. The car audio installer you talked to is either messing with you or retarded. Either way not trust worthy. Just a little basic stuff you need to know read all you can on this site and every where else you can. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
