[QUOTE="Scotty D, post: 8721061, member: 681392"] So I tapped into my rear speaker wires. Cut a rca cable open and connected the wires then to my amp, radio cranked all the way up so there was plenty of power going to that specific speaker while the rest were shut off. Played with every adjustment, both rca ports on the amp, both left, right and bridged speaker wire out outs. The most I could get out of the speaker (for sure works) was just a whisper that was so quiet I had to put my ear to it to hear. I then plugged a little Bluetooth type speaker with an aux port into the back of the head unit connected to the rca plugs in the deck, speaker worked great and responded to all the controls and adjustments made on the deck. Basically the Subwoofer and volume controls on it. This leads me to believe the clarion apx400.2 amp I got from the pawn shop is junk even with the green light on. Basically eliminated the deck, speaker, rca’s, and wiring. I put my DMM to AC volts and got 2.0 on both white and red. On the back of the deck. [/QUOTE]
