[QUOTE="drkodin, post: 469320, member: 545032"] my god people, this isn't that hard to answer the man's questions. 1st, packerfan is right, you have your subs wired to 1.5Ohms, that should get you about 800W or so out of that amp. there is no way around it, yu can never get 1200W out of it, you really need a different amp to power those subs fully (one that gives full power at 2Ohms). Now, as for the wiring, it sound like your friend did do it RIGHT! you described a wire coming from each sub, combining, and then going into the amp as one wire now (this is done for pos and neg correct?). That means that your subs are wired how they should be, the two positives connected together and the two negatives connected together, then run into the amp. a sub-sonic filter is a setting you will use if you have a ported box, which by your pictures it looks like you have one, but the pics are small. You need to find out what the ported box is tuned to (measured in Hz) and set the sub-sonic filter about 5-10Hz below what the box is tuned to. this will control the subs at low notes so that they dont unload (loose control) on you. the gain depends on what you have for your head unit. tell us what head unit you have and it will help us tell you where you need to set it. the bass eq isn't a good feature in my opinion, and i just keep it all the way down. it boosts the strength of the amp on mid range bass notes (usually found mostly in techno/rap) but does not boost anything else. this makes for a reproduction of sound that is different in how it was recorded, and i like most people like to hear music he way it was recorded. Up side to the bass eq is it can get you really loud bass, really distorted but really loud. [/QUOTE]
