    Low amp output even with gain at maximum. Running out of options

    UPDATE: So i ended up buying another vehicle (not because of this problem lol) and I started off with a different, known working good deck. and a brand new amp wire kit. Bare metal, big seat bolt for a ground point. Subs are a wee bit louder but no where near like they should be/used to be...

    I will try that, thanks Both L+R RCA's are being used, plugged in, and receiving signal. I have yet to test how strong that signal from the HU is. I have an Oscilloscope, I may try using that to analyse the signal.

    Low amp output even with gain at maximum. Running out of options

    Both inputs are working correctly. I have tested them independently. The amp is a mono amp and does not have Left or Right output, its just a single output. The woofers are SVC. Both woofers are wired in phase. There is a direct wire now running from woofer, straight into amp. Subs only move...

    Low amp output even with gain at maximum. Running out of options

    Yea my Pioneer has a Sub/Rear preout. The settings to control it also work in conjunction with the high level outputs of the radio itself. So, if you set the settings as "Rear/SUB" It will allow the rear high level to output at full range, and the sub to operate and be adjustible. Now if you set...

    Low amp output even with gain at maximum. Running out of options

    I did voltage drops and resistance checks on my grounds and power feed. They are checking out ok. Thats the thing that bugs me about this. Out of all my installs over the years, never once Did I have such a problem with getting output. Usually its always been ****** RCA's, grounding issue, etc...

    Low amp output even with gain at maximum. Running out of options

    I swapped the headunit with a cheap boss head unit I had, it made no difference. A friend of mine let me borrow his amp. Its a little more powerful Alpine MRD M1005. The gain didnt have to be turned as high as the MTX but it was still at 0.3v setting for sensitivity. Its working pretty good now...

    Low amp output even with gain at maximum. Running out of options

    Using a DMM I checked the voltage coming from the RCA Cable, its next to nothing. (under 0.01v) I am going to try that next, I have an extra one laying around. I'll just hook it straight up to power and see if anything changes. Everything is wired in phase. The settings on the HU are set to...
