[QUOTE="Rkrajnov, post: 7257419, member: 628037"] I'll answer your questions in order. i have sound from the STOCK speakers. these are connected directly to the headunit and therefore bypass the amps. but from the speakers/sub connected to the two amps i get NO sound except when I connect the ipod (will explain in a sec). I have adjusted the amp settings and as far as I can tell they should be good. Made sure of obvious things like gain not being all the way down. But It would be highly coincidental that it wouldn't work for either because of the settings. Also this next question will explain why the last part can't be the problem either. What I mean by connecting the ipod to the RCAs is this. I have an ipod RCA conversion in which I can plug the ipod directly into the amps (instead of a headunit) via the RCA cables. When I did this (with the volume all the way up on the ipod) I did get sound from the sub and speakers (though no where near as loud as it should have been) but I think the lack of loudness has something to do with it being hooked up to the ipod directly. The point is both the new speakers and sub played through their respective amps with the ipod hooked into the amps. As far as settings on the headunit I have looked through every setting their is. I even got a second headunit now because I was convinced the other one must have been defective and still nothing. And yes the RCAs are definitely connected securely. The only thing I can think of is that the RCAs are somehow bad (even though I'd find it hard to believe) but I don't have a DMM on hand. Is there anywhere I can get one cheap? Cause I really didn't want to do this, but at the point I'm at I kind of just want to take it somewhere and have them figure it out, the only thing really stopping me is the thought of having to pay an outrageous price for something thats probably an easy fix.
