[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8667899, member: 615398"] Sub level is not that same as bass boost. Sub level is the volume control for the subwoofer output level into the amp. If you have this turned down, then you will be feeding the amp a weak signal, which was mentioned as a potential source of your problem. Turn sub level all the way up and keep other eq settings like bass and treble flat. It ***** but that's what bridging does, you are combining 2 stereo channels into 1 mono channel. You need an amp that does about 500w at 4 ohms to have enough power to move that sub to its limit. Your amp may be rated for 250w but it's not the right type of amp and by using it with only 2 channels bridged you are essentially using half of the amp. A shop will likely just try to upsell you into a more (or sometimes less) powerful amp that they sell. The sub is a svc 4ohm loaded into a factory built sealed enclosure. [/QUOTE]
