Hmmmm. Def sounds like a defective converter. Should never have to leave an rca unplugged if it is wired and working properly. Get it replaced then see if that fixes it all.

And your line out is wired correctly? Subs wired correctly? It sounds like a crossed wire, or maybe tye amp s switched to full or hpf. I lean more towards a crossed wire, possibly at your line out converter.

Does the hu have a switchable sub output? If so, is it set for sub out?

Use only one xover. Either on the radio, or the best is to use supplied xovers. Dont use multiple xovers. This means leave the amp on full range, no xover set as well as the hu. As for gain setup, with the hu having 4volt output, gain should be able to be set fairly high. HOWEVER i would...

Based on experience, most amps are 2 ohm stable bridged. But i havent messed with ma audio products. You can email the company tho. cs@maaudio.com sales@maaudio.com

76 chev malibu. Jvc HU using line out converters. Bought the hu new with no rca, which was a LONG time ago. 6x9 2 way pioneers in back dash and custom cut into front doors running off la sound 2 channel. 2 orion cobalt 12's running off an urban audioworks 500 watt using the built in 80Hz lpf...

Produced in the late 80's if i remember right. And HIGHLY underrated. These are what really put RF on the map imo. Highly sought after back in the day for its small size and high power. Hence the nickname, "the cheater amp." You could hide mount this little guy and not tell anyone it was...

The dimming is usually an indication of poor power and/or ground. You mentioned the ground wire size, but what about the power wire size? Fosgate amps are power hungry. Feed them WELL. Just keep in mind your ground size needs to be same size or bigger. Rule of thumb...you can never have too...

Personally, i feel that the single 15 in the right box will be more than plenty. And will still leave a bit of room for storage. I did an install with my cousin back in the 90's in his third gen camaro. These cars are hard to get good thump and still have room. He originally had two punch...

I havent messed with any of Skar stuff, so no opinion on their equipment. But i can say a subs performance relies on the right box made from the right material. I have seen high dollar high end subs sound like crap and get beat by smaller, low end subs because of crap boxes. I have also heard...

Cheap, beater car, mid level pioneer speakers, so budget is simply mid level or less. Def not building a comp. 4 ohm load. 4 channels with a single sub possibility later on. The 5 channel seems right. But, im not into dropping money on garbage, so just looking for opinions on various options...

ok, after a TON of searching, i havent really found solid answers. heres what i am after. a good, clean, decent power amp for fronts, rears, and maybe a sub. now, a little background. im not new to car audio. BUT i am a bit of a newb to todays equipment. i did many, many builds in the 90's...
