Hooked up sub and amp for first time..wired wrong? VIDEO

[Bobby322 10+ year member]

I just got my new system in (in sig) and I just wanted to hook it up real quick for the hell of it and to see if it even works lol. I want to wire it down to 1 ohm, and I guess I did it wrong but I followed a diagram so i dunno. There isn't like any bass, im guessing from the missing dust cap? Still waiting on it from treo..been a week //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif Anyways, heres the vid:

getting built by vitveet at the moment lol. I do have a small crappy sealed pre fab box that I have laying around that I may use for the time being //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

its D2

Most of the bass is coming from my door speakers

I think you wired it to 4 ohm (series.) Parallel will drop it to 1 ohm. Pos of VC 1 to pos of VC 2 and connect to amp. Do that with the neg and bam 1 ohm. BTW it will play fine without the dustcap.

in the video, you have to touch wires together to play, that is not what that diagram shows.

idk what the **** you did. but its wrong.

there would still be some sort of bass if the dustcap was off

when me and my friend first hooked up my CVX sub box i had him just connect my speaker wire to the terminals on the box, i said "i have the white wire as positive and the green wire as negative" on the box, he wired the pos from the amp to the neg on the box and the neg from the amp to the pos on the box, while the subs were wired correctly on the inside

it was like this for 2 months until i saw it when i moved my box... and it played fine the whole time.

so dont think wiring it backwords did anything

Wiring it backwards only changes the phase...

I usually put my sub in a box and the bass comes.

Maybe it's a super shallow mount sub and you just can't see it.
