it seems to me that my subs are not getting the full potential. i have the input signal all the way up on the amp but it seems like when I turn it up louder, my pioneer door speakers start to distort before i can give the subs all their power. what can i do to fix this problem?

input signal should not be all of the way up search on how to set your gain correctly with a DMM subwoofertools.com has a good page. or just set it to your HU pre out voltage befor you blow your subs from cliping

they are 2 ss rl-p's (650wrms a piece) powered by an infinity amp, 1300w @ 2 ohm...but my amp isnt even getting to 1300w probably because when i turn it up, the door speakers(pioneers) start to distort before anything else. dont get me wrong, my subs still hit hard, but im thinkin they can hit harder.

Turn the gain down on the amp running your door speakers. Problem solved.

HPF on the CD player is your friend for the speakers.
