[QUOTE="VTLexus, post: 4572421, member: 589521"] here is the update. i removed the LOC and just ran speaker wires to the amp. unfortunately the sub still did not kick. at this point im out of ideas. here is a summary: - 12.6V at the input to the amp (from battery) - 12V at remote (direct from battery connection on amp) - ground wire at amp connected to negative terminal of battery via jumper cables - Amp powers on - tapped wires have AC voltage before LOC, no signal apparent on RCAs after LOC - LOC removed - ran speaker wires into amplifer - still no subwoofer sound - stock sub still works (tapped stock sub wires) - Equipment Functional - amp powers a friends subwoofer in his car. and his amp powers my subwoofer in his car. - polarity of tapped wires, polarity of inputs into amp, and polarity of inputs into terminal cup on subwoofer all double checked OK. I think I'll just take my car somewhere and have them fix it... [/QUOTE]
