Yes it does. I suspect there may some sort of custom configuration here. I was certain this was the problem from the beginning but now I don't know.

 

The gain is used to match the amp with the signal. If the signal is low (like a lowlevel preamp signal off a factory deck put through a line level converter like a RE-Q) then the gains will have to be high. This isn't a problem, it is what the gain is for!

And I agree with the comment to cap the factory mids if they pop. A standard 200uf electrolytic cap should do.

 

Yes that's what the gains are for but if "the gains on the MTX RE-Q as well as the Kronos have to be set all the way up before any sound comes out of the subwoofer", then there is a problem with the levels.

 

^ Which I am thinking is because they are taking a low level signal from the deck and putting it through an LOC that will reduce the level of the signal again..
