Okay WTF am i doing wrong!!!!!

[na_rsx 10+ year member]

Well after a long time, i finally decided to install my system (see sig). I am no noob when i comes to installing, but i definitely know we make errors, but wtf am i doing wrong. I have all the RCA's from the 880PRS connected and connected to the amp. I have the power, ground, and remote, amp turns on. Have the subwoofer turned on through the headunit, i turn up the gain and nothing.

So i thought the amp could be bad, so i connected a pioneer 4 channel amp i had laying around, connected the sub rca to it, connected the sub, turned the car on and presto, sub was moving. I was shocked, so i thought the sub output on the ED amp could be bad, so i took the amp out, put it in my accord (have the wires). So i connected the ground, power, remote, and ran a rca from the sub headunit to the sub input on the amp, connected a sub i had laying around, and what do you know, it was bumping hard.

Then i was like wtf, there is something i am doing wrong, what is it. Lets get the facts straight here:

Tested another amp in my RSX, sub worked, ED amp did not work when i had it connected.

Tested the ED amp in my Accord, and it worked

So i know the headunit is correct, because if not, then why did the sub work when i connected the pioneer 4 chan amp.

And the ED amp works, but not in the RSX, why?

cliffs:

tested another amp in the rsx

sub worked fine

connected ed amp to another car

front channel works fine

connected rca from radio to amp, extra sub worked

ed amp is not working in the rsx, but works in the accord

Please help guys.

Make sure the amp is getting 12v. It might just be a bit finickier than your other amp with voltage. You could have a drop somewhere along the line.

my guess would be just a bad connection in the amp to begin with, when you reconnected it elsehwere it worked fine, only thing i can think of

exaclty what i was thinking, but when i connected that 4 channel amp, i didnt change nothing in the headunit or anything. i am connecting the amp back tomorrow, and hopefully it was me. i am going to leave the amps settings (when it was in the accord) the way they are. i will keep this thead updated, and if it works, definitely a video.
