[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8223158, member: 659121"] So did your RCA's give you a reading? With my 4v pre-outs, I get 3.99 volts straight from the RCA's. -- I measure by plugging the RCA's into the Amp, and measuring the voltage on the speaker terminal(s) with the gains at zero,.. but you can measure straight from the RCA ends themselves (but it can range anywhere from 2-4.x volts on a 4v pre-out). If your RCA's are giving you a proper voltage reading with a test tone going then you should be getting something out of the amp and speakers. Measure the speaker terminals going to Sub(s) with RCA's in and gain set at appropriate levels.. if that level is good.. then it's definitely between the speaker wire and sub(s) itself/themselves. Which brings me back to the first check,.. have you had a chance to check the voltage from RCA's going to sub(s) ? [/QUOTE]
