Have you tried hooking RCAs and speakers to the front channels? Do you have another amp that you know works?

Are you ever in Brampton on Saturdays or would you be willing to drive down to Brampton on a Saturday? I could probably help, but need to see everything to be able to track it down better. Hook up your RCAs to the front input and the subs to the front out put and see if it works then.

As long as the gain and crossover is set the same should be no difference at all. If you feel like dropping by Brampton on Saturday I will be more than happy to check it out for you. I even have a couple amps we can hook up to test as well. Hook everything up the same as it is now, just on the fronts and see if there is any difference. Let me know how that goes. I am also home Friday night too.

No problem man glad to help anytime. Maybe consider getting a mono amp for your subs though. Right now they are seriously underpowered with that amp. Are they hooked up parralel or in series. That amp will only do 200wrms @ 4ohm bridged, which you cannot get from those subs. So you either have to run them parralel at 2ohms and hope the amp will take it, or wired in series @ 8ohms and only get about 50wrms for each sub. See if you can find a mono amp that will do 500-600wrms @ 2ohms and your subs will love you for it. I may have a Rockford Fosgate P3001 for sale cheap real soon if you are interested. It will do 383x1 @ 2ohms. That would be the bottom limit for those subs tho IMO. Let me know if you are interested in the amp and we can work out a price for you.
