[QUOTE="deftones5792, post: 3091363, member: 570346"] Equipment list: Sony Xplod CDX-L410X deck (yeah i know sony sucks but its what I have to work with) Kenwood 300W Max amp: KAC608S JL 10" sub in prefab box I have a power wire to the amp with a fuse/fuseholder near the battery. I used a voltage tester and confirmed that there is power to the amp. I ran the cable to the amp from the deck. I bought the install kit at Best Buy. I looked at the install instructions for the amp. The power indicater light is not on, indicating that the amp is in safe mode. I think it is because I do not have it properly grounded. I ran the ground to a metal surface in the trunk. I also have only 16g wire from amp to sub. I got the sub and amp at a yard sale so I want to make sure I have done everything I can before I go back there and demand my money back. By the way, this is my first attempt at installing an amp and sub so if you can offer any help, please put it in fairly simple terms. Thanks very much. [/QUOTE]
