Recent Amp/wiring problem

[95accord]

Got another set of RCAs you can try?

Tried another set same sound. Now I'm worried it's the head unit or the amp. My head unit should still be under warranty

I feel like it's the amp, even when you have the phone connected, it should giving it enough signal.

So you are saying even the AUX to rca should have clear bass from the sub? If so I think it is the amp too because my head unit is less than a year old.

Again thanks for your help

Yeah. Volume on the phone was max, yeah?

I Maxed out the volume. It's not even as powerful as the weak bass i was mentioning before

Ok. So it was okay when you bridged it and then this started again? Does sound like the amp.

Just to double check...all the connections to the sub and the terminals are solid? If they are, then maybe the amp had its day.

I just tried to direct connect the cables to the sub instead of the terminals and it produces the same sound

Get a new amp it should fix your issues that you're having. You don't need a powerful one just one that's enough to push the sub make sure RMS ratings on both sub and amp are close I believe you can go 50w +/-

I'd buy this one and call it a day:

PowerBass ASA 600.1DX (ASA600.1DX) Class D Monoblock Amplifier

Solid stuff at a very good price.

I had that deck. For a couple months. Get rid of it. Even the wife told me to make it go away. She'd rather have had a stock mazda deck than that. My buddy has the single DIN version and it ***** just as bad. These 2 decks are forcing me to reconsider ever buying pioneer again.

This is irrelevant. Sorry you don't like the deck, but that's not the problem here. He completely bypassed the deck when connected to his phone and output was still lacking. He does not need to replace the deck and he should not replace it. Waste of money for his situation.
