Sundown SA8v2 D2 that wont get loud.. at all.. :(

Is there a direct sublevel control I missed?

Yeah. Without looking, I believe it's under "subwoofer 2". If you don't have the option for subwoofer 2, that means that your subwoofer is turned off. You set that under "subwoofer 1".

Genius! Im about to head down stairs and figure this out.. well try to..

Yeah the round one in the clear bag. The one that looks like a desktop mic is the one in the pink bag, thats the bluetooth mic.

hahahahahaha thats awesome.. After the auto EQ even at -24db I had an increase. I left the sub at -3db and set gain to ~75% went to get gass, turned it up past 45 and it instantly stunk up my car, (saying that, the split second I smelled the slightest thing I turned the amd off. So now I know where it clips... yay, when im at the shop getting the airbag light fixed ill see if they will o-scope it for free. (they charged me 500 for this install so they better)

Thanks so much for the help, and you to @gckless you saved me a nights sleep //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif and got me bass

No problem man. 3/4 gain is too high, turn that down to 1/4~1/3 until you get it set right, just so you know you won't toast that sub.

The old SA12s I mentioned before were SPL coiled, the suspension gave out before the coils got touched by heat. Guess I need to calm the hell down with this one. Thanks a lot man

Well that will work with this one as well if you keep it clean. But you don't have to play it loud to clip the ever living hell out of it and burn it up. Be smart. Jacob designs his subs to reach mechanical limits before thermal limits if you have a clean signal.

I pulled the sub and checked the wires, despite them using 18 gauge for a 1KW sub it looked fine

They used 18 gauge for a fucking sub?! o.0.... Better have them fix that with 10 or 12 gauge while they are scoping it for you.
