no bass
ok, i might be a newb at this, but i know how to wire in a stereo.
i bought a new alpine, the harness and the dash kit from crutchfield. everything came today so i did the install.
plugged everything in but the subs to make sure everything worked. everyting good.
i go to put the CD player in and it wouldn't fit. i had to cut a square behind it so the harness could fit thru.
now, i unplugged my RCAs from the old setup(setup using stock HU with amp and subs) and plugged them into the CD player and the amp.
i went thru the CD player and turned the sub on and the sub up. hardely any bass. checked the amp. everyting good.
turned the gain up a bit and still not even close to what it sounded like before.
anybody know what the problem could be?
