Thank you for taking the time to help me 👍👍 Cheers from Perth, Western Australia 🍻🍻

Found the problem.....speaker tapped into was out of phase...swapped +/- around on right side and tuned it all....working great....being out of phase on LH -RH was cancelling each other out

Yeah like I have said previously I have tried RCA signal in from LOC in both A and B channels and has made no difference unfortunately

Ch "A" on amp I believe is the fronts...B ch rears...I have bridged sub to B channels and plugged RCA from LOC into B channel....ive also tried A channel on RCA on amp....maybe i could try bridging sub on front channels??

Just one Sub...nothing else

The HU has no RCA outs hence using LOC. Tapped into left and right rear speakers to connect LOC, used 9v battery to check correct wiring +/-. Ran 50hz test tone at 75% vol on HU and flat EQ etc...used MM to check LOC output voltage (0.5v). Amp is Pioneer PRS 4200FD 4ch...bridged in 2ch mode is...

The amp gain adjustment goes from 0.4v - 6.5v...(max 26v)..does not matter where I set gains, the sub doesn't move much. One thing I did notice is when I only had one rca plugged into amp the sub actually seemed to work better...not a huge jump in performance but definitely made a difference...

Well I've wired everything up correctly but the sub is hardly moving....I checked voltage out of line converter which only measured 0.5V AC. I tried another line out converter and the output was the same for both...am I missing something??

Ok thx for the explanation, as I'm only running the sub off the amp I'll set it up for 2 ch mono (300w x 2) and use 250rms (sub) x 4 ohms to get my volts calculation to set the gains.. If I've missed anything please let me know...thx for your help 🙂

Hey thx for the reply....every video I've watched has always used the RMS rating from the amp per channel...not the Sub which in my case the sub is 250w RMS /750w peak power ???

Hi All, New to tackling some basic improvements to stock system and learning for myself along the way but need some help from the more experienced people 🙂 I have an older 4 ch Pioneer bridgeable amp ( 1000w class D - ice) and wanting to hook up sub correctly. I have wired in to rear speakers...
