New Problem! Subs dont turn off when turned off on radio!

Well as I was attempting to figure out why my subwoofers are still playing when the volume is off, I took out the headunit and when i put everything back in, everything was the same with the subwoofer noise but now when I turn the subwoofer off on the radio it stays on..its a Pioneer Premier DEH-500UB...im sure it was one of my stupid mistakes but the subs were turning off when I turned them off on the radio before and they arent now..The rcas were put back into the same spot on the radio in the subwoofer spot..

Thats what I was thinking but shouldnt that do the opposite and make the subs not turn on at all?

guess you have a point.... does anything turn off when you switch subs to off ?

 

[nicker10 10+ year member]

Nope..nothing different..sounds exactly the same as if they were on

are they making a pulsating noise? or playin music?

kinda sounds like what just happened to me today. my subs would make weird pulsating sounds in the background whole music was playing and even when i muted the system the subs would still do it. turned out to be the ground. check to soo if your ground is secure

Sounds like you have a 12 volt constant going to the remote on the amp.

edit: nvm.

Probably wired remote to a 12v signal... So the amp stays on at all times. Check it, make sure it's wired correctly. From there, check the ground.

I had 4 gauge running throughout my car and the other subs I had at the time worked fine and then i upgraded to 0 gauge..i tried to use the same ground the 4 gauge had for the 0 gauge but the ring terminal got hot and burnt through one of the rca cords..so then I moved the ground to the seat belt bolt..and the noise is pretty much the same as it was in the first ground spot..
