[QUOTE="BassAddictJ, post: 3245233, member: 560415"] thats wtf i wanna know too......i mean sure you can upgrade to a bigger sub down the line...but wow. even though its messy im sure there's decent enough connection to get power going (but still go back and double check all the connections as well as clean it up. if you dont clean it now you never will later....i know this). could probly be something with the signal input side. try new (or just other) rca's and check those amp settings. if still nothing then try turning the gain up more, maybe the preout voltage of the deck isnt very high and you need the gain up. if the gain is up high and still nothing, it's either the amp or the signal to the amp. get a multi meter and test the voltage of the preamp signal from where it leaves the deck all the way to where the rca inputs prongs touch the circuit board and see if voltage is getting to the board. very well may be a defective amp...........but way more often then not it's something minor that can be fixed after you dig into it. also dave is a great seller so if he didnt have nay problems with the amp beforehand it should be a good amp.
