New build isn't as loud as it should be.

So on Kenwood headunits you need to have the Sub Level to +15 before even setting the gain, fuxin awesome lol. If I even turn my sub level up to +5 as is right now it sounds like poop haha. Guess my gain is already high since it wasn't seeing the full preamp output when set by the shop, pretty sure they didn't know about the sub level thing.

Well I guess you learn something new every day. This is interesting. In all the few years I've been learning about car audio I've never heard that, I always see "set everything to flat then turn the gain up", I guess that meant just the EQ and the sub should always be +15.

I wonder if the shop even turned my sub up to 15 before setting the gain because at lvl 0 like it always its seems like what it should sound like for a 500 watt amp.

If you have a new setup They probably tuned it down so you can break in the sub .

The kenwood xmodels do not clip at 35... the last few clicks account for over 1v of signal. Since you arent getting 4v, switch to .1-2v and see how that works out.

If your stock speakers connected to the headunit are the reason you cannot go higher than 29, then use 29 and again put gain on. 1-2v
