Wiring guru's, I need some input....ASAP!

I've got a rather annoying problem developing with my subwoofer (e12a). Problem is, I have bass and good sound coming out of it at all times, but I have to turn the stereo up to 25 (as loud as I'll listen to it) to get any kind of kick or punch out of the sub. As soon as the HU hits 25 the bass seems to kick in 10 times harder, then I can turn down to a reasonable tone to listen to while keep the punch in the sub.

I still have a little punch when I don't turn it up that loud, but it almost sounds as if someones back there adjusting the gain up on the amp once I turn it up to 25...then back down.

Any reasons for that? Loose connections to the amp, or sub...amp starting to act up, head unit problems?

Any ideas would greatly help, as I'm at a loss. I've check all the wiring to the amp, it's all tight and secure.

I would check for loose connections first off. Is this always consistent?

Is there a sub output control? If so, you need to turn it all the way up. +15 IIRC.

It's constantly like this. And it never fails that it will increase the sound of the sub after the HU is turned up to 25.

And the sub control on the HU is turned all the way up.

Nobody else has any ideas?

Looks like I need to head to a different audio board...this one seems to have lost it's knowledgeable members.
