    The tuning was def done prior to the install, although I can still reach the knobs on that alpine from under the passenger seat. I am still having issues with that amp and the gain levels. They are only up to about 10 % any higher, OR if I turn the deck volume to 100% the amp goes into protect mode. I cant seem to figure out why??? Ive been doing stereo installs for years and years. Its not like Im that green to it but I cant seem to figure this out. Ive been doing some reading online and it seems lots of people are having this same issue with that amp (pdx 4.100) so who knows???

    I had the same issue with my pdx 4.100m and 1.600m amps. Between the floor noise and not being truly two ohm stable I gave up on them. If I only showed the amp a 4 ohm load they wouldn't go into protection mode. Any less and protection mode in less than 3 minutes every time

    WOW it specifically says it is 2 ohm stable at 200x2. That obviously is not the case!! I guess its time to find a new amp and sell this guy!! what a pain to pull everything and do it again
