sounds like your kenwood isnt up to the job ...

[vinnie]

shi@ would that be it cos kinda thinkin that

[Gary406]

if it worked ok with your alpine ye its the kenwood,

kenwood arnt good headunits to be honest , especially for a external systems

get yourself another alpine , i use alpine 9855r - reason i use this is it has 3 gold plated rca outputs which are 4volt

[vinnie]

had a alpine think it was a 310r

[vinnie]

came across very good alpine 9855r way better sound but still vol not goin up that hi

is it set up correctly ?

the correct way to set your external amps is as follows

turn all inputs on amps to minimum
make sure the frequency range is set correctly make sure the head units high/low pass filter is OFF
turn the head unit to full volume (make sure amps are still on minimum input)
the slowly increase the input levels on the amps up untill you get a good loud disdortion free sound

the idea with the head unit being full is maximum signal is being passed to the amps
also make sure the subwoofer setting is 15 on the head unit then increase the amps input level

if you get stuck ask , it takes a lot of setting up to get it sounding right

what frequency range are your amps on ?

[vinnie]
