I have a hifonics amp that should be putting out 1300w@2 ohms and 2 15" subs rated at 500wrms a piece. In order for the subs to actually hit hard, the gain has to be turned almost all the way up. This does not seem to be right. What could the problem be? I know its wired right and the ground is good.

yoru headunit is not pushing enough current or voltage probably is 2 volts but most manufactures rate the preout voltage as max so its pushing around 1 volt rms

ur gain knob isnt a volume or bass knob. go to www.subwoofertools.com to set ur gain right with a DMM
