I have my amp connected to the high level inputs from the head unit. Do i set the sensitivity switch to high? And what is the crossover switch for.

Set to high because you wired through the high from your head unit. The crossover switch is for how you want your output from the amp to be, "high,mid,low" if your running the amp to your normal speakers in the doors then you want to either be on mid or high whichever one makes your speakers sound the best. It's more of preference with the two. Also make sure your gain is down all the way when you first test speaker sound , with radio turned up to just below distortion accures then slowly turn gain up until slight distortion is heard then turn down until it goes away and then your set and will now know the loudest radio volume setting too.

yes this will help. I have installed several sound systems for both myself and other people and in my experience most of the time it doesn't matter if you run the rca's next to power (though it is good practice to run them on separate sides of the vehicle which I do do now) you will still get some ground loop noise (basically your getting interference from the alternator) I have purchased 4 of these guys for the cheaper sound systems that I've installed (I usually don't have this problem when installing the high end $2000 sound systems) and they work just fine, no ground noise whatsoever. Your input levels will be a little quieter but you can compensate by turning up your input levels at the amp. yes this will help.

Just tune your amp appropriately and it'll be fine. Use a multimeter to tune.

No the crossover is seperate, but my 4 channel amp has a crossover so I just tuned them with that. To be honest if your amp has 1 buying 1 is a waste of money, and there very very loud, mean as hell haha

I suppose you could use the passive crossover The idea is that these have sufficient power to drive them and most amps don't have a dedicated sub-woofer output so you are robbing power from elsewhere to drive them you can connect them in parallel or direct to adjust the impedance as you can do with a normal sub I drive mine with a high pass filtered 4 channel amp I have one under each seat in the car I also made a piece of plywood quarter inch thick to mount them to the board is silicone'd and screwed to the bases of the seats to stop rattles works really well

I believe there is a switch in the back for stereo, or bridged. Set it to stereo. Also how are your speakers connected to the amp? Are you using the speakom. Connectors? Check your wiring

1) is your machine turned on?2) is the volume on the machine turned up?3) is your signal flow correct? (out of machine to in on amp)4) are you using a mono or stereo 1/4"? if so what output did you use?

Check your LOC unit and make sure its connected and setup correctly. Everything on your amp should not be turned up. Put the low pass to the mid point, "mode" set to low pass, sensitivity might be 100mv-2v(check on the loc), and the level should be at the mid-point at most. Also make sure your subs are wired and connected correctly, for the appropriate power. You may want to Contact a local shop for further troubleshooting.

It does have that option. There is a quick switch button on the front of the device that swaps between the two. I did attempt to use this feature once with another amp for stereo but it didn't seem to get a signal (my amp is extremely unreliable and fairly old)

You havent given me much to go on, such as what kind of speakers you are connecting, what connections and cables you are using, etc. I have this same amp and it has worked flawlessly for me for well over a year. Plenty of volume, and lots of headroom. I typically run the amp at about 60% gain and then simply control the volume via the input signal. Double check all of your connections and your input source. I highly doubt the issue is with the amp.

Does the amp work and power your subs? Trace your wires and make sure everything is in the right place. Do not turn the knob to full on yet cause it can't break easy, put it halfway or under half. And turn your car over and see if it works? If not send me another question and ill look at mine specifically

You can scratch start or click rocker button and use the switch on handle to start with high fre. I do nothave a foot peddle But I think it is used to adjust the amps .

To be honest I have always ran the gain pretty low because I use it as a direct amp and use other pedals for higher gain. The high or mid equalizer maybe? If the volume is really high alomg with the gain there could be more hiss.

If you are going to hook up in series you are going to need to add amplifiers because you are going to increase the impedance. My suggestion would be to purchsse a speaker selector switch box which distributes the current evenly and you can turn all on or some off. Speaker switch boxes are normally passive, otherwise you are going to need to biamp or you'll end up frying the car stereo's built in amp.

If you are adjusting your volume from a preamp or other sources such as iPod or mobile phone, you just need to set the volume to max (ie turn the volume knob to max) on the AudioSource amp-100. I've set mine up this way and works great!

No adjustment on the converter that I'm aware of. Mine setup works great - however my setup precludes me from knowing if output signal strengths are low. I ran a FO cable from the TV through this converter into my stereo and from the stereo to speakers. So my stereo amp would mask any 'low' signal level. Since I do not have to turn up the volume on my stereo I suspect that the converter's output it good.(stereo volume level 3 out of 10 is more than enough).

I would check three things.. is there enough bass.. is the sensitivity adjustment correct and is the master / slave switch in its correct setting. Mine came with it in slave mode and I had to switch it to master.
