I assume you ran the existing sub wires into the inputs of your amp - AND your amp input sensitivity is set to SPEAKER LEVEL INPUTS, or you've used the wire input connections for speaker level? If not, your performance will suffer.

Have you used the correct output terminals of the amp - for bridged mode?

Where do you have your amp gain set? You may want to crank it up a bit?

Bridging is taking power from 2 channels and combining into 1.

I believe its taking your possitive and negative wires and putting it on the outter part plugs

You are going to have a hard time figuring things out if you just try to gather all your information here and try to put it all in one. What you need to do is go back to circuit city, gather all the fantastic info we provided you here that you still don't understand and simply ASK AWAY. Its their responsibility to explain and answer your questions.

Good luck

Also the output into the cabin doesn't seem as good as it should be.It cost a pretty penny and I'm not sure I got my $$ worth.

Obviously I know very little about all of this. I'd appreciate any advice, recommendations, or suggestions on this. Thanks.

Check out my thread...

I have the similar setup but the only difference is the AMP..
