all he is saying is to make sure everything is right because if you dont redo all your settings and you dead short this sub also the protection on your new amp aint gonna stop it from frying.

DING DING DING, We have a winner.

I am just tring to warn you that the protection circuit isn't 100%. It might save you, but the chances are it won't.

Ah yes, well I got that part but I redid everything so I dont know how I would fry anything this time around. I actually have the proper gauge cable and grounds in addition to a new RCA. :)

Everything is pretty much halfway or less up.

he means did you actually use a method of setting them (ear, dmm, oscilloscope). if not, halfway or less may not be correct.... or it may

Ear. I thought that was pretty self explanatory when I said they were more or less half way up. Who the hell just adjusts everything without listening to it?
