SAX 100.4 gain issue?

[CrazyKenKid 64]

So today i noticed something interesting regarding my SAX100.4.

I am currently running no subs (waiting for my saz2500(2) to come in) so my setup is the big 3, h/o, 2-nsb90, 2-zapco RB13.2 comps and the 100.4

so let me see if i can explain this issue correctly...

here is my door panels for starters

so i currently have all 4 channels in use and the crossover point is 80hz

channel 1/2 - is 1 set of gains and filters (hpf)

channel 3/4 - is another set of gains and filters (hpf)

i am at the 1x range

and hpf

on channel 1/2 i have the gain set to 1/4 of the way up (just positioning i am not a noob it is for reference sakes)

to match the output of 1/2 i have to set 3/4 gains to nearly 5/8 of the way up and even still channel 1/2 still sound louder then 3/4 for output

my volume on my h/u is set at 45out of 50 and let me tell you these comps sound awesome almost skin peeling, they can take about 100rms so 200rms per side. and i do not notice any distortion or anything wrong

my question (finally) is it normal for me to have to set 1 set of gains higher then the other?

i have ruled out the RCA as the issue as i have switched them and i got the same result. for example channel 1/2 is the left side of the car and channel 3/4 is the right side of the car, so i switched them and i got the same result one side needed to be turned up, so this also ruled out the speakers as the issue

umm what else can i say input voltage is a steady 14.4-14.6VDC , impedance of the speaker is around 4ohm per set

other then that i am out of idea's and i need some help but if this isn't an issue then i ma not going to worry about it and just leave it as is.

thanks

Kenneth

and yes before anyone asks i still get the same issue (potential issue) when my volume is 35/50

hey guys i am off to work if anyone has any idea's of what this is either an issue or i shouldn't worry about it just post that and or if you have anything else i can try please let me know!

That isn't normal... it could be that the value of the knob for 3/4 gain is too high of resistance, though, perhaps a worker grabbed the wrong one. As long as you can adjust it and make it equal though it won't hurt anything.

Okay thank you for the the advise I will not worry about. It is funny how in my 3 year of owning it I never noticed it and it took two sets of comps for me to realize it lol. Again thanks for the reply problem solved

Make sure the head unit doesn't have the fader favoring one side over the other.

one set of rca's with y-splitter?

[CrazyKenKid 64]

nope the fader is set to the middle and i am using all 4 pre-outs from the h/u (front left/right, and rear left/right)

and i did try just splitting the front left and right rca and i did get the same result again

*shrug*

Ya that is what I was thinking but I guess Jacob has the best answer

If the fader is balanced and you even used a y-splitter, it's the amp.
