[QUOTE="dopefish, post: 1856998, member: 567600"] Okay, here is my equipement: Pioneer DEH-8600MP headunit Lanzar Vibrant-416 4ch amp MTX Thunder-2160 2ch amp MB Quart DSE-216 components Infinity 1230w 12" Referance sub 4-way fuse block Optima 51R 'Yellow top' battery .75 cu.ft sealed enclosure for the sub, to be remade later at 1.0 cu.ft 8ga wire with a 60A fuse inline runs from the battery to the fuse block; each amp is powerd from this block by 8GA wire with their own 60A fuse. GND connections to the amp are 8GA to a single screw in the chassis, paint sanded off. Remote wires ar tied into the 'remote' and 'antenna PWR' from the headunit. Audio signal is coming from the RCA low-level outputs of the headunit to the inputs of each amp. The internal amplifier in my headunit has failed due to a speaker short in my OEM speakers. We tested the RCA's on my friends amp/sub and it was outputting which made me start going to RCA's instead of high-level. The headunit itself acts normal in everyway, it just does not output any signal from the amplified wires. I'm still running cables for the LEFT front-stage however the RIGHT front-stage and SUBWOOFER are completely wired. Below is a diagram of the current state of the system: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/DopefishLives/240sx/Audio/systemasofnow.jpg[/IMG] Here is the planned outline of the system once complete: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/DopefishLives/240sx/Audio/system.jpg[/IMG] Now the problems... Last night when I completed the install the amps were not powering on, hoever, I was tired and decided to deal with it later. This norming I jiggled the 'remote' wire a bit at the HU as it was kinda loose in the wirenut I used and the 4ch amp came on when I started the car. The sub amp however was not powered on. I figured I'd see if I could get audio out of the speaker I already had wired up, but nothing was coming out; I switched the inputs on the X-over and no differance. I adjusted the gain all the way up and assured the RCA's were in the correct spot but still nothing. I need to search up my multimeter and check the wires for continuity and proper power but I'm working all day today. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what I should be looking for. The wires all appeared to be in where they needed and snug. :/ This is in a 1995 Nissan 240sx, I've run new wires to the speakers and am only using the stock 12v/ACC/ant./GND for the headunit, everything else is new wire. I'll post pics once I get ahold of a digicam. Thanks, ~Kris [/QUOTE]
