My amp is turn up 3/4 I didn't mess with anything else cause I jus did it real fast I figured bein up 3/4 would be plenty

you may need to turn up the gain till 75%

or turn up the setting for Bass by your Head Unit

3/4 is 75%

Y u smacking ur head

Probably at the math intelligence of the person who told you to turn the gain to 75%, and yours is at 3/4 already.

But just by saying turning your gain up is terrible advice because that can lead to clipping and other problems if your not careful.

What's your low pass and subsonic at?

To be quite honest, my head unit does that with CD's but when i hook my Ipod up, the volume becomes normal. But, my head unit is stock.

Try different forms to play your music. CD, AUX, USB...etc

how did you set your gain? 3/4 is pretty damn high IMO

Don't know much about his head unit but from just an educated guess it's 2v pre-out which means he has to set it higher than he would with a 4v pre-out.

just a quick thought....

Do u have that remote control plugged up on that AQ2200d?

If u do.. your gain will only be 3\4 of the way up if that remote is turned all the way up...

trying researching/reading the thread on how to set gains/amps. Its a great read and will help you alot.

The gain is meant to match the voltage of RCA's. There is NO average setting.
