PooThenPee Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hey guys, Sorry if this isn't the right section of the forums for troubleshooting issues but I did not see anything that seemed like a better option than this. I just hooked up my new stuff and everything seems to turn on and stay on fine. But the problem is it is just not very loud. Like somewhere something is not getting enough power. Any music seems like its a 100 watt system and not 1200. If I were to guess it is probably my janky speaker terminals or the ground isnt good enough. I tried a different ground and that didn't help. Build is Skar 1200.1 wired to 1 ohm 12" DC Level 3 Here are some general pictures that may help someone find where my issue lies: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PooThenPee Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Just now, Never Enough Bass said: How did u set your gains I seen a couple places online say a good place to start for my LPF is about 80 and for my subsonic about 20ish. I played a 50hz note with volume and knob at my max and turned the gain until it started sounding distorted and then turned it back a hair.

I have done it this way before and it seemed fine. Sub is wired to 1 ohm, - to - to amp/+ to + to amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
