[QUOTE="bartles, post: 8466053, member: 668656"] For starters my vehicle is a 2004 accord. not my first sound system. installed many (non professionally) over the weekend I swapped my stock head unit for a metra adaptor for my car and a kenwood ddx393. was using a unit which split my rear speaker signal into rcs and remote to power subs. I have 2 jl 3v3 10" ( I believe they are called) powered by I believe 1000 watt jbl. been great subs. the install went over fine. deck functions as is supposed to. I installed 3 sets of rcs because I plan to add a 4 channel in shortly. as well I upgraded my battery. now no matter what I seem to try I cannot get my previously perfectly functioning subs to do anything. the amp lights up and its not a warning light. everything appears to be working. so im pretty sure the power aspect is covered. as I said I ran 3 set of rcs. I tried all 3 looking for a sign of life and I got nothing. I read that some decks have an option to turn on and off your subs in the setting. I believe ive found this however I am unsure as my subs do nothing at all. think im gonna grab my friends sub and amp and see if that will turn on tomorrow. going to have to get some batteries for my voltmeter as well if I don't get anywhere and check resistance in the subs etc. but does anyone have a solid idea of what I may be dealing with? im hoping not blown subs or amp component. if I don't have to tear the entire set up down that would be fantastic. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks [/QUOTE]
