will it work if i only put one side of the RCA's in?? i dont think it worked.

not sure what i should do about the gains. maybe reset the unit??

If your turning the gain up, then something is wrong. 8 volt preouts should keep your gains pretty darn low, I know mine are.

The y spliter shouldn't hurt you to much, but if your woried take it out, and see how it works without it.

im not sure where to put this cuz it involves everything.

on my old pioneer HU, i think it only had 2V preouts. when setting my gains, i didnt have to turn it up too much. now that i have this eclipse unit which has 8V preouts, i have to turn the gains up all the way to get any loudness.

is this normal? could it be some settings on the HU? or is that normal with high rated preouts?

also, i had to use a Y splitter to hook up my sub to the brain b/c there was only one output instead of two. is this normal?

i was trying to tune my system but cuz of all this, im scared i might be setting the gain too high.
