If the amp is getting power and rca signals, then make sure the power is getting to you sub. Recheck all the connections and test to see if it is getting the current

i checked all currents to amp and speakers everything is good then used a tester from radio it shows good as well i dont understand? this promblem

is your 12v turn on wire giving out power?

[BAGGEDCAMRY01]

the 12 volt from amp is turning on the amp lights up

Im having the same problem with two sets... Im guessin the amp is blown... On my set i messed up and had the gain @ max (mixed up gain and this other nob)... And on my friends set i burrowed giving me the same problem (same exact one ur having)... But when i plug in the rca cable sometimes i get a little like "pop" from the subs (like a split second of sound)... Thats the only signs of life

Have you tried using someone elses amp?

When testing this stuff, i use a small radioshack amplified speaker. I hook this directly up to the RCAs to see if there truely is sound comming out of it. If your sure it's not the rca's then it's time to start swapping equipment. see if you can't hook the amp up to another set of subs (this is assuming that none of the fuses are gone on the amp and that all the gains are set properly). if this fails, time to swap the amp.

well guys thanks for help. i found the promblem it was a ground wire. it was enough just give amp power to turn on . but no power to subs

[atomix099]

Really... Thats funny becasue my ground wire is hooked up to this screw end where my rear speakers is... im going to try moving it right now...

Edit: I hear a little bit of life in mine everyone now and then when i move around the ground wire... like a split second... Where is ur ground wire hooked up too?

A strong ground is allways a good thing to have in a system. To help create a better ground, you should snad off the paint arount the bolt you are connecting to expose the bare metal. also the use of a spider washer (the one with the little legs on it) is great to use because as you tourqe it down, it will dig in making an even stronger ground. Most often, I bolt the ground to the seatbelt block. This area is usualy within a few feet of the amps and is a strong connection point.

well atomix099 vbmenu_register("postmenu_1789210", true); did the ground wire work for u . thanks sman i would never thought of using that type of washer

[atomix099]

Actually my capcitor was the problem... Its funny because i would of never thought to run my subs str8... I leant out my capactor because my subs "werent workin" to find out his subs stop workin withit... So i hook mine up str8 and WHALA... Im back in the Game

[BAGGEDCAMRY01]

i never use cap on my subs i just go staight. well at least u found out the promblem

if the gain was set to high on the amp, could that blow the amp? im having this problem
