What did I do wrong? Why isn't it loud?

Alright, I looked through the booklet and found something that appears to be a sub output, maxes out at +6, I'll try that today. It's not a bass control, it's strictly sub output, so that should work a little.

Yea, that will set your RCA voltage as high as it goes. And most shops just max the gain out, so I would do that as a last resort.

yeh, i wouldn't take it to a shop unless you know them personally or seen them do some installs. How does clipping sound? I'm havin a similar problem with my DMM. Can you guys help me witht my post. Similar to his.

Sorry, if i hijacked ur thread.

Make sure they are not out of phase....

That's what happened with my wall. They knocked after it was fixed.

Well, problem solved. Turns out they were out of phase. I switched the wiring on one of the subs and, boom, instant bass!

I'm very impressed with the setup. I just rode with her to Wal-Mart and back and I'm proud of my creation. Now I'm gonna wanna upgrade mine.

In most cases, the square wire is meant to be the positive one. Or at least, it is on all of the wire that I have gone through.

Jl the reason(u probally know now) one wire is square and the athother is round is so u dont have a prob wiring it if u wire it backwards on the amp ,be consistant and wire it the way u wired it on ur amp to ur sub. but like superman stated

square = pos

round = neg
