[QUOTE="Xeenic, post: 8532602, member: 671517"] Yeah... So the sub really only works with all the bass setting maxed and it's causing the other speakers to clip really bad and sounds horrible. Like I said, the subwoofer setting is turned ON and i turned it up +6 ( most it would go) and the sub is still getting very little or no power. Plugging in my phone to the amp the sub works fine so I don't believe it's a problem the amp or the sub. The sub was much stronger with the stock system. My last thought is to use a Line Output Converter to take the original wiring out the back of the head unit and hook that to the amp, instead of using the RCA outputs on the back of the head unit. Do you think that could fix the problem? I've tried all the settings on the head unit and cannot get the sub to produce sound without serious distortion from the rest of the speakers. Edit: If I turn the bass settings down a bit, so that I can turn the volume way up without it sounding like the speakers are about to blow, the sub still does not kick in when turning the volume all the way up on the head unit.
