yep, all from walmart. Not one issue ever.

i guess i'll try them out and do a rough rub through the center and see if that remedies the issue

my rcas are from walmart not the best quality i have a better set sitting in my front seat ive just been too lazy to change them out yet but they get the job done.. have gotten the job done for over a year

i bought the wal-mart RCAs, ran them, and there is bass coming from the subwoofers but not nearly what was produced from my other amplifier, I mean i'm scared to turn the gain up any higher so idk what to do

I mean I don't know how high i can turn my gain up, i don't have an oscilloscope handy, my headunit also only has 2 volt outs sooo... i'm not sure

And one more thing, i have no idea if this has anything to do with anything, but when i un-hooked my negative battery terminal before removing my old amp, my capacitor made a loud/long beep noise, and did the same thing when i i disconnected the negative terminal before i worked with the RCAs

Logan. Is it a bad thing that I wanna get at it with your avatar. Haha.

Sounds like a controlled short. Kinda like pluggin in a sub to a wall socket. But after too long it will blow.

Its not a bad thing, buttt what is shorted? the amp? the capacitor?

Also, the read-out on my capacitor is like at a steady 14.something, i turned the gain kinda high and cranked the volume and there still wasnt nearly as much bass as when i had my old amplifier. Also the LED on my cap would drop down into the high 12's and low 13's when i had my old amp cranked up, what is the problem?
