thanks for the reply. I had the dmm leads on the speaker output terminals to the sub. I can get the sub to play somewhat, but barely audible. I also check the voltage on a home outlet and got 125v, so i think i have he meter set correctly this time.

ok, I checked the voltage with AC and when playing with the gain, I got a whopping .4 volts... so what now? I also check the inputs with a PC and RCa out with a 50hz signal. Had the sound all the way up and gain all the way up, and got .4 volts. bad amp?????

That is a dumb mistake... i will recheck and see what's what. thanks for the heads up

I just finished my install of a Kicker 10" single sub 2ohm DVC (wired for 4 ohm) and a Cadence Xenith 400.1 mono amp (300 watts at 4 ohm). after the install the sub just doesnt sound like it has much kick. Power to the amp seems fine, and no warning lights, all green. I checked the output...

Thanks for the quick response guys.

Sorry guys, it's not a resistor, it's a 5v DC fixed voltage regulator. like this +5V Fixed-Voltage Regulator 7805 - RadioShack.com . the amp turn on lead is wired to the high voltage side and the amp side is wired to the 5v fixed side. the middle prong is put to ground. What I would like to...

Hey guys, I have a Clarion cx501 that has the amp turn on lead going to a 5v resister to turn on my Ford Shaker 500 amps (takes 5v and not 12v). works great.... now I am putting in a separate amp for a trunk sub. The question is can I tap into that same amp turn on line PRIOR to the 5v...

Hello, new to the forum and I cant find any information specific to my question. I have Kicker DS680 6x8 speakers that have a power rating of 6-35w rms and 75 max. My head unit is currently powering them and it has an RMS wattage of 20w per channel. I am in the process of adding an amp for a...
