[Drutherford92]

Check connections on sub/subs and connections inside the box

All connections were fine

You may have a bad coil on a sub or one ch bad on your amp possibly.If subs read fine and one of the ch are bad on the amp, You stillhave that option to wire to 2 ohm on the two good ch on the amp to run the subs

This will not hurt the amplifier as you are not using those bad ch. It will not operate anyways, but you can still use that amp on any good working ch.Ive ran a 4 ch bridged on a good two ch with two burnt out 2 ch for years and still works just fine today on that same two ch.. Ran a pair of 10s at 2 ohm

You check for any burnt wiring?

Could have a bad connector as well. You can bypass that and wire direct. Ive had some cheesy push connectors go bad before/ no longer made contact/broke/ flimsy aluminum

My subs are fine. And yes it's seeming like one channel on the amp is bad. My amp is only two channels. So how would I wire the amp off one channel for both of my subs to work without being damaged. Sub And amp specs are in earlier posts.

You will wire to a 2 ohm load on the good ch.,,

Make sure you turn your settings down on the amplifier before turning it back on, so you dont blow a sub..Go into Clipping, and you can adjust your gains and settings again/ re-tune

NEW INFO.

Just tried playing with rca cables and it seems when I pull the red out of any of the head unit, amp or the jumpers I have for my bass control it doesn't effect the one working sub. Haven't redone the wiring for the bad sub yet but it will probably be done tomorrow after work.

Alright will try this for now. But I'd like to know a surefire way of telling if this amp is bad so I can get a new one or find a way to salvage what I have.
