whoopdeedoo Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Tried to find my specific issue via forums and google but no dice. If I test my headunit (Pioneer 80PRS) for distortion via rcas everything works as expected and I end up with vol 57/60 showing clean. I tried testing via the alternate method, through the amp and I can't get a signal or 40hz light but the distortion light does come on at vol 53/60. I've reread the manual and triple checked all settings, xover, filter etc. I cannot get a signal or 40hz light with the gain of the amp all the way down as the manual suggests. As soon as I turn the gain up at all the signal and 40hz turn on. Should I just go with the headunit only method and ignore the results I'm getting through the amp? Any idea why it doesn't work through the amp as the manual recommends?

It seems to still work as expected Quote 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
