Second amp causing first amp problems?

[DanielKusnir]

So I had an extra amp laying around and decided i might as well use it for my 6x9's, but after hooking up a second set of rcas from the second amp (kicker zx60) to my head unit (kenwood kvt 512) my alpine mrp-m2000 amp powering my two american bass xfl 15"s got a lot quieter. I even unplugged the rcas from the kicker amp and the subs still arent even close to as loud as before. The rcas are still routed underneath my floor next to the other set of rcas so could that possibly be the cause of my problem?

Thanks

Didn't happen to adjust the fader or turn the sub level down?

you might have damaged the rca's during the install. Try a new set to the alpine and see what you get.

It was the rca's. I switched them out for a new set and everything works good now. Thanks for the help!
