IF U SOLVE IT I'LL PAY YOU!!! acura rsx type s aftermarket subs/amp install troubles

[Croby95]

Hello!

I have an 03 Type S and i just cant seem to get my subs to play. Amp turns on but there is no output. The system is two 12" DVC 4ohm hifonics HFX12D4 subs wired at 1ohm to a mono hifonics hfi1000.1d amp (1ohm stable) and a JVC kdr330 HU. I spliced the HU myself, and it works as it should. I don't have a voltmeter but i assume the terminals get the right amount of voltage since the amp turns on??? Idk, that's why i'm here.

I had no troubles at all installing this setup in my base rsx at all a year ago, tho i used a kenwood HU in that setup.

Things I've tried:

-Brand new hifonics brutus mono amp (turns on like the other amp, but subs still won't play.)

-Brand new JVC HU (yes, a different one)

-Brand new pair of hifonics HFX12D4 subs straight out of the box

-Moved my ground 3 times

-Brand new kicker RCA cables

-A different remote wire

-Bypassed the stock Bose amplifier, so now the Bose speakers are powered directly from the HU and the stock 8" sub doesnt work (which is fine)

ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS ARE 100% SOLID.

I feel like i've troubleshooted as much as you can possibly troubleshoot a system. At this point, I am straight up offering $10 (by mail) to the person who solves my issue. $10 isn't much but it's probably more than you've ever gotten on here before!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif My Best Buy appointment is on Thursday (7/3/14) so I'll only pay you if you solve it before then!

Thanks in advance

did you turn up the amp gain ??

 

[Croby95]

Yeah man, fiddled with the amp settings with both amps, still nothing.

Spend that 10 on a multimeter and check the rca voltage coming out of the hu.

Check the deck for a sub out on/off feature get a dmm ASAP

 

[Croby95]

Ok if i get the multimeter where exactly do i check the voltage? I don't see how that could be the problem considering I got the other JVC head unit right out of the box....

 

[big scott]

^^^ that the next think i was going to say, check your h/u and make sure the sub output is turn on and turned up.

 

[big scott]

the first thing i would ddm is your amp output ( speaker terminals ) and see what its reading.

also if you have a harbor freight they have cheep ddm's.

 

[Croby95]

I'm like say 70% sure i checked the sub settings on the HU, i'll go check that right now again. BRB

also make sure you are connecting the rca's in the right spot

 

[big scott]

hurry up, we do have all day..........

j/k lol... let us know.

 

[Croby95]

RCA's definitely in the right spot, also tried every other spot just in case....

 

[BigSix 10+ year member]

what is the right spot on the amp for you? input or output?

 

[big scott]

what do you mean " ever other spot "?

 

[CSCStang]

Option 2.....plug an iPod directly into the amp.....if it works it's your hu.
