Going active - which processor?

Ok this is the last post that I am going to give you. You can then use your "years" of experience to figure it out for yourself, so pay attention:
A car audio system is nothing more than a circuit with light bulbs (the components of your sytem). If you break the circuit then things don't work.

Currently you have:

HU>>>Crossover>>>Amp>>>Speakers

Simple yeah? Check all your wiring with a DMM if need be. Then work your way through the "light bulbs" to see if anything needs to be replaced.

If everything checks out, and you are still getting voltage through your amplifier then your speakers are blown or speaker wire is snipped. Pure and simple...

Either that or you managed to defy the laws of physics. I'm done helping you. I love helping people out, but when I have to explain the basics it gets a little to overwhelming for me...

Once you get it figured out, go to BCAE1.com and start reading...

i dont know what the f*ck crawled up your *** today, but if your just gonna continue to be a prick i dont want your help anyways. if you had opened your ears and listened to me, youd realize that everything you JUST SAID i already DID. amplifiers cant amplify a signal if theres no signal to be amplified THEREFORE my rcas are fine. also, i just told you i CHECKED MY WIRES FOR CONTINUITY and they are fine. i know what a god d*mn circuit is. like i said ive been doing this for years and also im a senior in college majoring in physics with a minor in electronics. so yeah, im gonna get a little pissed when you come on here acting like im a f*cking n00b who doesnt know shit. dont insult my intellegence b/c you failed to read what i wrote. i know a f*ckload about car audio. just b/c ive never ran an active setup doesnt mean shit man. get your head outta your *** and stop jumping to conclusions.

Yeah man do a double take. I have the same crossover and no issues whatsoever. I have tweets on the front. Midranges on the rear. Start there before the switcheroos and multiplier to make sure everything is in working order.

thanx. yeah im about to go out and recheck everything for the 10th time. ive been running through everything in my head for last couple hours and i just cant think of anything it could possibly be besides the drivers.

-theres a signal on all channels

-checked wires for continuity and theyre fine

so the drivers must be seeing a signal. can you possibly think of any other issues? im stumped. probably wont have time tongight, but if i cant figure anything out in the next couple minutes im pulling the drivers and testing them.
