So I got this supposedly 800w sub and amp combo for 20 bucks from a friend who doesn't know much about these things, he got them for free.
The speaker is from some random Chinese manufacturer, about whom I can’t find much about. The only image I could find online (mine is in a box) -
The amp is a Philips DAP 4020.
I bought a wiring kit, hooked everything up to my car's factory stereo, including a cheap line output converter. The amp's power LED is on, but the audio that comes out is EXTREMELY quiet. I hooked up the amp to my phone via a 3.5mm cable, and I could only hear a little bit of the low end and only when I put my ear right up against the speaker.
I have tried turning the gain up and down, filter on and off, nothing works. At first I thought that maybe I hooked up the LOC to speakers that don't output the full range of frequencies, but as I said, the problem persists even when the amp is hooked up just to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
