well just installed another amp for my mids and highs...had them running off the deck before...and now...my subs arent playing as loud...is that because im sucking more juice b/c im running two amps? i mean its pretty drastic

anything?

 

1) Your running a 2nd amp. That means less power to ur sub amp
2) your mids/highs are amped now and playing MUCH louder and cleaner.

 

yea i can see that...but this much...i mean it seems like i lost half the bass i had before...i dont know what it is....i think i need a better bat and alt maybe...cap, line driver,..something....its just that i lost so much bass

 

its neither one. maybe when u played with rca's at the back of the deck u pluged the sub amp rca's in to the REAR output? maybe not exactly that but im pretty sure it has to do with rca or maybe sub/rear/full settin on the deck

 

im pretty sure i plugged the right rca's in...ill double check today though,
thanks

 

what gauge wire are you running? Could be the sub amp (looks to be a pretty heavy one too [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] ) isn't getting enough juice now that you're running another amp.

 

im running 4 guage to the sub amp and 8 to the other smaller amp........do i need 0 guage? the amp only has room for a 4 gauge input..
