What ohm voice coils do you have on your sub?, how do you have the sub wired up. Chances are its going to be something really cheezy why your not having the bass you need. Im starting to think that your not using the right set of preamp outputs if you need to have loud and bass all the way up to here bass. Thats not right at all.

greg662 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Thats what i am thinking its just some lil thing that i cant find but i only have one set of rca outputs could it be that the cd player is bad bc i am about to upgrade my cd player anyways? and i have it wired down to 1 ohm 2 15" DC LVL 5' crescendo 5500 yellow top under the hood and two xs power d3100 Big three upgrade Rockford Fosgate T162S components in front Rockford Fosgate T152 in the back Dynamat everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you go out and look at the model number of the cd player? it should say someplace on the face of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
