i fully understand your point, i have been very satisfied with the sound quality of the amp, and i haven't even gotten to install my focals or make any sound adjustments its still flat. sound quality is awesome. i will end up putting a link to their website on my car site.

well i found the problem, after doing the new paneling and sealing of my drivers door i had to reroute my speaker wiring, i had rerouted them to low and when i installed the panel one of the screws had pierced the wire coating and when the car was running the wires would vibrate and rub against the screw, so i rerouted them further up repaired the wires and everything works great now.

Wiring seems to cause a lot of problems over the years.

Ive seen power wires run thru drilled holes in firewalls. Over time it will slice thru the shielding and BAM... lol

Screws thru wires... Common.

well, after running new wiring and installing the new speakers on the front left channel the problem is still there, so i swapped outputs and the problem followed to right speaker, its a problem in the left output of the amp. so i have to get it fixed.

Try swapping the RCAs also. Doesnt hurt to try and make sure its the true problem.
