thankyou for you informative response. It seems that i had all the switches on the amp switched to the left, so what i did was switch some of them back to the left, rofl - what happened was when i did this i was completely shocked and almost drop my dacks as it was f##kn loud, apparely it was on 4v which i placed back to norm. Anywhow, system is so now now very very impressed with the sound and quality of not only the splits but the power of the amp.
I do have another question though, I get static noises when ever i switch the engine on but it can only be heared when the h/d volume is at 0. How can i stop this noise, wires crossing ?
