[QUOTE="Willydk, post: 8360166, member: 665022"] Hey guys, so in my last thread [URL="http:////forums/wiring-electrical-installation-help/614091-how-test-if-line-out-works-everything-seems-fine-but-speakers-doesnt-work.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/wiring-electrical-installation-help/614091-how-test-if-line-out-works-everything-seems-fine-but-speakers-doesnt-work.html[/URL] adulbrich and keep_hope_alive helped me to get things moving, and by now, I think i might know where the problem is. I have this weird Terminator GX-5002 500W amp, it powers up, but the sound of my sub-woofer is really quiet. I measured speaker output voltage and there's nothing o_O I'm not sure if i'm measuring it in a wrong way(again), but it's really weird, because there is some sound, but it's very quiet. ( I played with filters as-well, i can only make it more quiet) [B]+ I can only get some sound when I connect only one RCA plug.[/B] [B](Found reason for that - I messed up my Line output converter wiring) - Could that cause the other problems?
