BlimpThePimp Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got the cheapest hu best buy had , and its a 2v , when I set my gain it maxed out at 28.8 , I turned it down to 26.9. I got a hifonics 1200 amp and needs a 34.6v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 volume on the headunit isnt turned up enough. or the sub level on the headunit isnt up all the way. cheap headunits suck. 2v preouts are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
