[QUOTE="lliamiskool, post: 8860144, member: 689910"] Hi all, I am still fairly new to car audio, so I figured I'd come to the experts. I have a boss head unit and a sound ordanence 8" powered sub that work great. I recently picked up a mtx 12" sub that is 24 years old, and a bazooka ela500.1. I wired it the same as my powered subwoofer, and used regular old speaker wire to connect the sub to the amp. I have no idea how to tune it so I left "level" at min, "x-over" at 40 hz which is the lowest, and "bass boost" at 0. When I turn on my radio, the red power light turns on briefly then shuts off. Any ideas? Could the way I have it tuned be doing this? Or is speaker wire too thin? Any advice would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
