[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8820454, member: 673826"] Hmm. Backing up a step here, it sounds like the splice to RCAs may have some kind of issue. I've never done one like that - are you sure you did it right? I hate to say it but you might also want to check the amp itself at this point. If the inputs weren't wired right it's possible the amp was damaged (I hope not!). If you have a multimeter, check the output voltage coming from the factory wires and make sure it's within spec at all relevant volume levels for your amplifiers RCA inputs. Eg. If your head unit is outputting 8V or something and your amp is only rated to accept 4V, you may have damaged the amp. Can you tell us a little more about how exactly it's wired? When you say "the same -+" are you saying that you are using the same power / ground wire from the factory harness for the new amp? Input is the RCA splice, output is the factory out, etc. [/QUOTE]
