The crossover for component sets are usually around 70~100Hz high pass. Does the Brutus have full-range preamp outputs or does it have a crossover for it too? If so then set it to "pass thru" or full range. I had one and I should know but I don't remember.

Is the gain on your 4 channel turned up? Also make sure the preamp outputs from the headunit are set to "full range" and not something else if you're running the highs signal from the sub amp.

just make sure set the x-over on your deck or amp around 70-100 hz

you can go lower just make sure deaeden your doors & place your tweeters to good location.

troubleshooting is a bitttccc isnt it?

I spent all day trying to figure out why my sub isnt playing. i did so many switch between my amps. test with other speakers....come to find out the fuse holder was no good. i even checked the fuse and it was ok. but the fuse holder had some corrosion in there.

yeah, it had me confused for sure.. i started thinking at first maybe i didnt tune them right so i wasnt getting good output.. then i drove the car and realized the ground was bad from the whine coming through.. these XXX components very nice tho now.. im pretty pleased with them
