If you unplug the left channel interconnect, you shouldn't hear music out of the left channel...same goes with the right.

well I need some new rca's because when I unplug the White one which I think is the left I dont hear a change in loudness. When I unplug the red one and leave the white plugged in there is no music at all. I can't even tell you about how many Rockford Fosgate rca's I went through.

My fault this is wrong, I meant to say that if the left is unplugged then I should still hear music from the other and vice versa

Is it a mono block amp?

Try unplugging the other side.

Some amps have one channel dedicated as a mono input, eg:

L(mono)

R

no, unless its because I have a monoblock amp interconnects hooked into my 2 channel amp, which states rca "out(thorough)." I have 1 amp on each sub

 

[trigga_b 10+ year member]

can't you leave the rcas hooked into the amp, disconnect them from the HU, and tape on them to see if they work?

Many 2-channel amps, in bridged mode, will only use the signal from the left or right channel input. Try hooking it up in stereo mode instead and see if one speaker keeps playing when you unplug each RCA

Yeah Ima try that tomorrow, My subs are 2ohm dvc, im tyrin to stay away from wiring this in 4 ohms sooooo. Im going to 1 v.coil from each of the 2 subs to my 2 channel amp. Then Im going to wire the other 2 v.coils in 4 ohm and hooked that to my monoblock amp, then hook my monoblock amp to my "subwoofer out" on my HU and the 2 channel amp will be hooked in the regular rca out jacks on the HU. As for the "subwoofer out" (monoblock amp) Im going to use this as if it was a Loud button.

If I'm reading that right (and I had to try three times) your subs are going to have each voice coil hooked to a different amp, wired for a different impedance load and connected to a different output on your head unit?

There is no possible way that's going to go well.
