My subwoofer is only letting left channel audio go trough.

If you have already checked the cables and connections and they seem fine, then it is possible that the issue is with the internal amplifier or crossover of your subwoofer. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Check the settings: Make sure that the settings on your subwoofer are correctly set to receive a stereo signal. Some subwoofers have a switch that allows you to select between stereo or mono mode. If it is set to mono mode, only one channel will be sent to the subwoofer.
  2. Check the crossover: The crossover is responsible for sending the correct frequencies to the subwoofer. If the crossover is set too high, it may be filtering out the right channel. Make sure that the crossover is set correctly and that it is not filtering out any important frequencies.
  3. Check the internal amplifier: If none of the above steps work, it is possible that the internal amplifier of your subwoofer is faulty. In this case, it is best to take your subwoofer to a professional for repair or replacement.
  4. Try using a different input: If your subwoofer has multiple inputs, try connecting your mixer to a different input to see if the problem persists. If it does, then the issue is likely with the subwoofer itself.

What are the best sound settings

There's not a "best" setting to use - the settings you use are based on your installation, system configuration, and listening preferences.

That being said, with cheaper amplifiers like this, there are some basics that I can give you.

Crossover
Your crossover prevents frequencies your subs can't effectively reproduce from being passed through to the drivers. There's two basic ways to implement a crossover in a car audio system. You MUST use one of them.
  1. Most headunits have a built-in digital (active) crossover that can be set inside the radio's settings. This type is preferable due to the better waveform characteristics that ultimately get sent to the drivers after being amplified. If you don't have or don't want to use this method than use option 2.
  2. There will be a passive crossover dial/knob (or on very cheap amps it may simply be a switch) on your amp that can be used to set the crossover frequency.
What frequency you use is somewhat subjective, but a safe bet for subs is to keep it under 100hz. The larger the speaker, the lower the frequency. (100Hz should work well for your 10's)

Gain
  • Set your gain no higher than 80%
  • To find the safe threshold, play music with some heavier bass and increase your radio volume until you begin to hear distortion in your mid/high range. Back the volume down until the distortion resolves.
  • On your sub's amplifier, with everything hooked up, gradually increase the gain until you start to hear distortion/clipping from the subs. Back the gain down until it resolves
Other/Misc.
  • Do NOT use "bass boost" or "loudness" settings that many cheap amps come equipped with. These artificially bump-up the output of your system and almost always produce "dirty", distorted, and damaging waveforms that will drastically reduce the quality of sound and the life-span of your speakers. If you find yourself needing to use them to get the effect/volume you want, you either have your settings incorrect, or (more likely) need to simply invest in higher-power/quality hardware.

I have a set of Infinities RS8 the Crossovers are shot and both of them is it 3 way or two way crossovers

Unlikely that the crossovers are shot, almost always the drivers go to protect the crossovers. What makes you think it's the crossovers?

Wiring 1122 switches for crossover

Question is unclear. But if you want both switches to throw at the same time all you need to do is connect the 3 terminals on one switch with the matching terminals on the other switch. Run a wire from left to left, center to center and right to right. If the switches do not switch into the same track just reverse the right and left wires on one of the switches.

I have a gs724t and need to add a gs748t, what cable do I use to link them together??

Most switches are smart enough to detect and reverse logic if the wrong cable is used. If you want to be correct you would use a crossover cable.

Computer to computer, router, or extender (crossover)
Computer to switch or hub (straight through)
Switch/Hub to Switch/Hub (crossover)

I get no sync between my network card and the

Make sure your not using a crossover through cable. Also make sure your not connecting the cable into the internet port, which is usually the first or last port.
  • A straight-thru cable has identical ends.
  • A crossover cable has different ends.
  • A straight-thru is used as a patch cord in Ethernet connections.
  • A crossover is used to connect two Ethernet devices without a hub or for connecting two hubs.
  • A crossover has one end with the Orange set of wires switched with the Green set.

My gps does not show streets

try and reset the your crossover. on the left side under the sd card slot is the reset. depending on the date it was manufactured, it could have one of two different switches. one has a switch you slide down and then back up to reset it. it must be in the up position for your crossover to turn back on.

turn the unit on, then slide the switch down, then back up!

if it is a later model crossover, you just need to depress the button with the gps on and it will reset.

How do you set this stuff?

Need more info..
How many amps and their RMS rated power.?
If one amp, how many channels + individual power for each channel?.
Two crossovers set at the same freq.is redundant and likely to cause more problems.
Do the front speakers have their own X-over? whats the X-over point? and what is their freq. response (total) are they separates
Rear speakers same question.
I'll point out that you cant hear below 20Hz unless your a whale and very few instruments go that low except organs and synthasizers.
The subsonic filter merely block the lower harmonics from eating up amp power.
Their is no universal setting. all systems are different, as are cars, interiors, ears, windows up or down, noise floor, etc.
A RTA helps with the basics but you will still have to tune by ear,
Good sound is difficult enough to achieve,
Great sound is trial and error and very time consuming.
Sorry no simple answer here. Find a good installer ,preferably with sound judging experience,
It wont be cheap, but if you have enough money invested in the system, Don't skimp. or all you'll have is bragging rights
Best of luck, Sumthin
