rewiring gone bad

[pbnj22 10+ year member]

i was upgrading wire today and my system worked fine before and after i hooked everything back up, i got nothing.

To be more specific i ran bigger power wire from bat to amp, ground from amp to chassis, speaker wire for sub, and speaker wire from amp to box.

at first my amp led light turned on but no green light. then after messin the the rcas the green light came on but still no bass. so do you think i messed up wiring with the sub somewhere?

make sure you didnt cross your RCAs, make sure the remote line didnt come out, make sure ground is solid.

cross my rcas? and the remote line is in because i never took out my head unit and its securly in the amp. i will have to recheck the ground though

double check every connection you swapped at both ends were they terminate

every end or just the ones i messed with? also since my amp lights turn on cant it not be my remote wire? just to eliminate some possibilities

I would think that it would be the ground. I'm guessing you grounded the amp to the same spot? (since you just replaced the wire, and got bigger spade terminals)

yes i grounded to the same spot.. i found the problem (i think) i accidently wired wrong from voicecoil to voicecoil inside the box.. but i connected it back up and it seemed to work after 5 minutes of testing and now there is just constant bass playing.. is there something wrongly wired with my rcas?
