[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8672099, member: 676005"] OK, not the worst install I have seen but I have seen worst in my 32 years in the hobby :fro: I would like to suggest a few things to help with your issue. [LIST][*]Firstly, buy a power distribution block and run each wires respectively to the nominated audio gear, as the install job poses a threat to you and your ride so do this ASAP, remember what Young MC said, ' got no money and you got no car so you got no woman and there you are!' - Bust a move - Young MC. :veryhapp: [*]Once you have done that, check your head unit if it has a provision to run a subwoofer as it looks like only one pair of RCA is connected to the head unit. If not sure about your head unit settings, take it to a car audio shop so they can check it out for you. [*]In most cases. you have to option of choosing Speaker / Subwoofer (yes/no) and then it may prompt you to select subwoofer frequency and loudness like, 0db, 3db, 6db and reverse db as well. [*]Then check on your amp that its not set as 'high pass mode' and that's the reason why your subwoofer is not operating as usual. [*]Then, check with the multimeter on your subwoofer connection, it should pose a 1/2/4/8 ohm resistance depending on your subwoofer. If unsure, take the subwoofer out to check reading, [*]Another way of checking speakers is using a pen light battery and connect it to the terminals with 1.5 volts, it should create a scratching sound, to advise you that the voice coils are not fried, at least not yet! :laugh: [*]If your head unit issue with subwoofer controls are all good and the subwoofer is ok, then also check the RCA cables. Run another pair to the amp to see if it works. Faulty RCA's do tend to pose a nightmare as they do fail over time. [*]Hopefully one of these suggestions may remedy your problem.
