[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7351907, member: 576029"] The Op has done a great job of explaining his problem. We aren't doing him much of a service so far. The amp is a 2 channel. First question should have been how it is wired to both subs, stereo or bridged? A diagram of exactly how it is wired will help The RCA's are probably fine based on the OP's tests. If he can get either to work, they are ok. The LOC wiring to the vehicle wasn't clearly defined. Which speaker wires? Rear? Verify those connections, even swap them to test both channels of the LOC. Many Honda's have Active Noise Canceling. This wrecks havoc when you add subs. Verify if you have an ANC system and bypass/defeat it if you do. I too have seen this problem before. Usually is the result of phase/signal polarity. If it was louder with either left or right RCA, I would suspect sub wiring. If the right doesn't work then it seems to be before the amp and the right RCA is pulling the signal down. Maybe the right LOC input is reverse polarity. [/QUOTE]
