well, good news, cars fixed, all that trouble over a little vacuum leak, and i should be able to set the little thing tomarrow (even a legacy will make neighbors mad) last time i set the gain with my old 10guage, i couldnt even reach the numbers set w/ gain equation, hopefully this 4 guage will help

Set it to minimum :) That'll pretty much make you not have to worry about it being the gain.

thanks guys, but for now i wont be able to set any gains, my car's broke again, after just a week ago, i dropped a new moter in it. ford blows worse than my legacy!

I'd have added clipping from lack of current.. but it's a legacy. I doubt it draws enough to clip that badly from a stock electrical system. Not like it's really 1500 watts or something. lol

And what Glass said. Pretty much has to be one of those.

I'm running a knu koncepts 4 guage eko power and ground. I have no clue as to why this amp is doin this, advise is greatly appreciated.
gains are set too high, or the amp is defective. 50/50 with a legacy.. they do suck.

Your Legacy amps popping fuses????? Wierd......

Actually, Chris, that might be the problem.... we never set the gain once you got the 4gauge in there, unless you set it??

you may have your gains too high.. check your power wire and ground also, make sure they arent cut anywhere and are exposed and touching something.
