[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8670918, member: 676005"] ok, so its all installed with the subwoofer not playing. Few things to check here mate; [LIST][*]check amplifier wiring, from battery, ground, remote wire [*]check if the RCA is plugged to the amplifier; [*]check if the amplifier is being switched on when your head unit is turned on; [*]use a multimeter to check subwoofer box connection. [*]if you don't have one, open the subwoofer to check it the speaker terminals are secure and connected [*]use the multimeter to check your subwoofer resistance ( hope its not a fried voice coil) [*]check amplifier is turning on, if not then check power, ground / rca connections; [*]Finally if all seems to be connect on the trunk area, then you may have to gain access to the rear of the head unit to check all connections; [*]check if the battery positive fuse / circuit breaker is not switched off or the fuse is blown [*]check your ground from battery to the amplifier to the vehicle chassis. [*]if all works then also check your RCA resistance, and speaker wire to the subwoofer as well. [*]check remote wire that turns the amp on, could be broken or touching ground or just spliced during install so no signal is going to your subwoofer amp. [/LIST] Hope this helps you out mate!
