first time installing sub system

[2000silverado]

i just got 2 12'' TREO dvc 2 ohm subs from a friend he recommended getting a power acoustik 6000d amp and so that is what i got. i have started to install everything and i know that the speaker is fine(only installing one for right now) and i am getting power to the amp but nothing from the sub. i am using the factory head unit in my 2000 silverado so i bought a rca line out adapter and got it all wired up but i am still not getting anything from the sub at all

check your sub's wiring and how its wired to the amp.

balance the radio left to right and see if you get output. Possible the loc is out of phase.
