So my sub is now connected (soundsplinter rl-i *300rms) Its running at 2ohm so it should be matched perfectly with channels 5+6 bridged getting the rated 300w. However it feels like its WAY underpowerd... perhaps MAYBE getting 100rms. Its in a sealed .6cuft box as suggested by soundstream.

Now Im still not getting any sort of bass out of my midbass 6.5 Infinitys. Their just not outputting anything decent. They should be recieving 50rms each out of channels 3 and 4.

I dont have anything on channels 1+2 currently.

Now I only have a single preamp out on my current deck - so I have it running into 3-4 inputs on the amp. (I have inputs 1-2 open) There is no dedicated input for the sub.
Does this matter a whole lot? Do I NEED a pair of Y-adapters to split up my single output out of the deck? Or would it be better to wait for my new deck and just run another set of RCAs out of it back to the amp?

Thanks for any help.

soundsplinter is its own brand made by tc sounds inc
and check to see if maby turning on the loud function will help. or whatever it is.

I know who manufactures the woofer. That was not the question.

There is no loud feature.

This is quite obviously an input element. I only have 2 rcas going from the deck into 3and4 (of 4) inputs on the amp.

When I run them into 1and2 I get more bass in the woofer but my 6.5s dont work at all. In 3and4 the 6.5s work half decent (no good bass, but I get highs) and the woofer is working at least. So currently Im running in the amp inputs 3and4 only.

So my question is: Why is it doing this? What happens when I get a deck with say 3 sets of preouts -- front, back, and sub? I can only plug 2 sets into the amp.... so which do I use?
Why would the power output increase from the amp as someone has said above with a new deck with decent preouts? *even if my deck is messed up... the amp should still be amplifying the wacked out singal correct?

THanks

it seems as though it is just a problem with your deck,
pull it out and use a voltmeter to see if it is in fact putting out some voltage.

I dont think this is the problem because my front speakers in the kickers are FAR out performing the Inifitys in the back - and they are STOCK speakers.
The infinitys should be getting 50wrms a piece from the amp. And the definatly are NOT.

Everything to me seems to be leading to the amp...
Im going to get a multimeter in the next day or so and find out whats coming out of it.
Even if its a faulty deck preout or something should the amp still not be putting out 300wrms on the sub channel? Just shitty quality or something?

Thanks
