Hmm...gain on the amp...

It doesn't have a gain switch..only 2 knobs on it ..1for 'frequency..rangeing from 50hz to 150hz (tried chagin that)..and on for 'input level'..going from min to max.. On min you can't hear the subs and on max they cut out..middle..they play for 1 second and cut out...


Thanks so much for the quick reply by the way.

And, i did say please at the end of my post!!

Don't know if this will help but try turning your input level switch to min, then turn your volume control on HU to about 3/4 volume, then turn the input level switch up until the speakers start to distort then turn it back slightly that should be the maximum output you can get out of the amp.

You are driving the amp too hard. I'm gonna guess that the subs are underpowered, and the amp's sending a clipped signal at lowish volumes, which is not good
