Please read the Monsoon FAQ at the top of the forum first and then come back with any additional questions.

Not unless you're going to have two subs. The bass signal will be the same left or right so you can connect the line level converter to either side.

Did you adjust the gains on the level converter. It should have an input and output gain adjustment that is usually turned way down. Adjustment with a small flat head screw driver.
