[smiley2186 10+ year member]

hello,

i was getting close to finish my project, but when i got to wire up my amp and my sub together it didnt work. my orion hcca d2400 power on (bnib) but it doesnt power my subwoofers(eclipse sw9122),

im trying to hook up 3 amps in my car. this is what i have upgrade. yellow top up front, blue top rear, big 3 done. all 0gauge wires. alpine 9856 h/u.

i hook up both orion amp and it lights on but none seem to power the subwoofers. im trying to run the sub at 2ohm. with 1 amp.

the only amp that work is my alpine 4 channel amp with power my mids.

i know the amp should be mess up, i bought 1 new and 1 used.

what is going on..what could be the problem.

Remote wire in all of them?

 

[wu501 10+ year member]

sure you connected all the rca inputs and remote wires?

 

[smiley2186 10+ year member]

i use a 10g for the remote wire for the 2 orion amp but alpine has the stock lil blue remote wires, im pretty sure the rca are correct, but i will check again at the remote

i use a distro block for the remote wire, the main remote wire in the input, splits out to two.

10 gauge remote wire? That's overkill if it is. You should have a blue wire coming from your HU to the amps. Tap into that to connect all three amps. Make sure that you do not have RCA inputs going into outputs either.

rca is in each input. i will try to change the remote wire to see. and i have a problem with my speakers, sometimes it make a weird noise like electrical thing. then stop.
