Dafaseles Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 2 hours ago, PooThenPee said: Ok i will try out the dmm tomorrow. My power and ground are 0 ga. My last system was much weaker and was installed by a shop years ago so i have a feeling i will need to do all these upgrades to get the power im expecting. These are my battery terminals, the power was just ran from the small stud and there is nothing added to the negative stud. Can i just add a 0 ga from the neg to the chassis and try that? Otherwise I'll have to order more to do the entire big 3, which i will at some point. You can try that, but the whole big 3 upgrade will benefit the whole car, not just your system. So the faster you can do it, the better. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PooThenPee Posted October 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 So after wiggling my deck out of my dash I got my model # and it looks like my preamp outs are 2V. Is this my whole issue and if so, what are my options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your options are get our new deck with 4-5v preouts, or a line driver 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!

I have never used a line driver before but Ill try that. I'll also be ordering more wire for a big 3 upgrade. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 not sure what you expect from a 900 watt 12” Try different sources other then the aux cord and reposition the box see if that changes anything. my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A line driver will up your output voltage, so you don't have to turn the gain up as high to match the output voltage of the head unit, but really, as long as you match that voltage, you'll be getting the same amount of wattage 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.
