bob New member Username: Slaya Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 01:51 GMT Hey, first off i'll let you know my setup, and then i'll get to my problem.. Headunit: pioneer deh-2700 Front speakers: CDT KA-61 (connected to head unit) Rear speakers: none single Sub: pioneer Pioneer TS-W300R amp: Alpine V12 MRV-F307 Okay, my problem is that my system sucks, the front speakers are fine ( i guess), but my sub is bearly heard.. i bought this amp off my brother who has the same sub as me, except he ran 2 of them off this SAME amp.. his system could be heard from almost down the block, it was amazingly loud.. in mine, you can bearly hear it when your in the car? i have the turn my head unit to FULL and fade the front speakers out so the sub is louder.. i honestly dont know what to say but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.. any help is greatly appreciated

Then I'd suggest upgrading the sub and lastly the speakers. KA is decent and matches anything found in CC and BB but not the best from CDT. I would look into the EF series.

As for the head unit, when my brother had it connected to a Jenson 70$ head unit, and mine is a pioneer 110$ That amp and my same sub (except two of them) used to THUMP loud as hell, and could be heard from half way down the block.. mine can bearly be heard from inside..

bob New member Username: Slaya Post Number: 6 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 05:38 GMT really? i downloaded the manual for this amp, and it's really complicated. i'm learning a lot of the features and the little buttons on it, which i didn't understand before.. hopefully tomorrow i can get it hitting hard. B, or anyone actually, experienced in alpine v12 amps and how to correctly connect the 1/2 things up?
B Gold Member Username: B101 Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 1718 Registered: Sep-05	Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 05:44 GMT u set gain to match ur HU, not turn it all the way to FULL! @ FUll that amp will be sending a clipped signal to the subs... my friend had a v12 in high school, I hooked it up for him, but I cant remember anything about it. It was aiight... read your manual.... then read this.... http://www.bcae1.com/
