[QUOTE="coolcalico, post: 4962847, member: 567756"] A few things I forgot to mention.... [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] The kenwood did come with the inline hookup, as you mentioned. Out of frustration (and to eliminate the converter as the problem source), I did use this as well. Same problem, the sub hardly moved. I also tried hooking up just one VC, same results. I actually tried hooking it up to both VCs independantly incase a VC was damaged on the sub itself (although I puchased it new). Here's a curious question... I should be getting a reading from the (+) & (-) terminals on the amp, correct? I am getting none. I reverfied that the power source was getting ample power (12.4v), the remote wire (12.4) and that the ground wire was secured properly. Using the harness kenwood supplied to bipass the RCA/line out converter, I measured their voltage... 6.2v on each wire. Every input on the amp is getting correct voltage, yet, I have no power coming out of the terminals. The power light is on, and it is NOT in protection mode... indicating that it SHOULD be working just fine. To go more indepth about the movement of the sub... you can't really see it... only feel it moving. Its in a ported box, and I also feel no whoosh of air coming from the port because, like I said, the sub is hardly moving. Anything else I can try? I'm pulling my hair out over this one... My gut instinct is telling me the amp is my problem. I'm honestly feeling retarded because I've done tons of other installs in the past. [/QUOTE]
