[QUOTE="ahas83, post: 8707406, member: 679840"] Hi Lasherž - thanks for your response. Couple comments: 1) I have the subwoofer connected to the 'main' output of the LC2i, and am not using Accubass - at high volume, sub output is good, and I typically dont listen to music very loud. My issue is i have low output from sub at [U]low [/U]volume. When playing music at volume levels i typically listen to, i am getting ~4-5VAC at the amp speaker outputs which is not much power. The reason I installed the subwoofer was because I wanted more bass at lower volumes. 2) I think you're right on a couple things, my expectations may have been too high, also my amp is not adequate for my setup, especially since the subwoofer is 4 ohms and needs more speaker output voltage at the amp. My car is also insulated very well from factory, therefore i am also looking at bass output at the subwoofer and think it should be better. Since my last post, i removed the harness, made sure all pins were on tight, checked continuity from end to end with a DMM, replaced the wire from amp to sub since i found a small kink in the wire insulation and a few broken strands, also re-checked voltages with a 50Hz test tone, rechecked for voltage drop. Is there anything else i am missing or can try? Can this be fixed by increasing the gain on the amp? I currently have the LC2i set at roughly 11 o'clock, and amp at 9 o'clock. [/QUOTE]
