[QUOTE="asaszn, post: 8715498, member: 680844"] Hey all, I'm sure this has been asked but I'm not finding a specific answer to my set up. I could use some advice. I'll be as concise but clear as I can on my issue. FYI - I'm an "older timer" in my 40's but installed many systems when I was young. I just didn't know if tech had changed and I'm missing something obvious [B][U]The vehicle[/U][/B] - My daughters 2014 Ford Fusion HYBRID [B][U]The equipment[/U][/B] - JBL GT-BassPro12 self powered sub, stock stereo, Kicker KISLOC LOC, Boss Audio wiring kit. All parts new (Besides factory head unit, obviously) [B][U]The problem[/U][/B] - Everything is hooked up and tested but no sound from sub, not even a pop or murmur [B][U]Here are more details[/U][/B] - We wired in the LOC to the speaker wires behind the stereo using wiring diagram - Wired in remote power line to back of stock stereo too - Ran RCAs and remote power - Wired positive and negatives to battery in trunk - Ran sub gain dial from trunk to dash - Did all this, got no sound from sub [B][U]Here is the troubleshooting we did[/U][/B] - Used mutli meter to confirm we're getting good power to back of sub, confirmed strong power - confirmed green light on sub turned on when car turned on - Confirmed signal was coming from RCA's to trunk by plugging RCA's into a portable speaker using RCA to 3.5mm I have, speaker played sound (mainly only bass, not clear sound but I assume that's because the LOC converter sent only low freq). - Plugged a working sound source (laptop) into back of sub using same 3.5mm to RCA technique and got no sound from sub. - Confirmed all 6 other speakers were playing normally (4 mids and 2 tweeters, all stock) [B][U]So here is what I know[/U][/B] - Sub is powered and indicator suggests it's on - Signal is coming from back of head unit to trunk via RCA's - All speakers are playing but no sound from sub What could I be missing besides the possibility I got a bum sub? I know claiming "my unit is bad" is always the easy go to but rarely the real issue. [/QUOTE]
