  1. Ground gauge should be equal to positive side gauge. No need for a grounding block but you certainly use on if you want too.

     

    4g speaker wires??? No. 12g is by far big enough for that amp.

     

    The grounds for the battery and alt/engine are so short that you can probably get away with 2 or 4 gauge. Especially if you are running a factory alt. But my own personal OCD wouldn't let me use 1/0 for power and a different gauge for negative.

    Everything is flat after tuning except 80hz LPF on HU.  Bass knob is set to max when setting gain on amp.

     

    I can hear the sub burping, or sputtering.  It makes a repeated thud/pounding noise.  As if it's bottoming out or being stopped repeatedly.  I assume this is clipping/distortion from too much gain.

     

     

    when do you hear this? Does it change with volume?

    I don't always post but I'm here quite a bit but there was a brief stint that I was away. Life got in the way 

     

    Yeah I see you are still working out a lot. I'm working out too, but it's only my eating muscles these days.

  4. I just went and read some of the instructions for your LOC. Turns out it isn’t a LOC at all really. Your headunit doesn’t have an output at all really. All it does is send a message to the amp and tells it what to do. That’s where the PAC AmpPRO intercepts the message and turn it into audio. There is no conversion from high to low level. Still doesn’t explain why you didn’t get a signal but very much explains why you can turn the head unit up to max with no distortion. 
     

    And then your amp...lots of settings in side that thing.

     

    Start playing around in the amp’s settings (with no speakers hooked up) until you get a signal on the DD-1 to see what is going on. You have so many controls on the amp I’m guess one of those is the issue. It doesn’t appear the the PAC device has any output adjustments except to shut off the factory EQ.
