sony xplode

[bannock 10+ year member]

i recently bought a 99 saturn sc1 with a sony xplode HU in it (model CDX-L510x). it had all the hook up for subs but when i hooked it up i didnt get thump, just quiet, muffled music comming from the sub. Is there a special setting in the HU to turn it on? or is there maybe something else I can look at? Fuses have been checked and it seems to be connected right ( going to pull out the HU to see whats going on in the back tomorrow when i have light).

Thanks in advance!

Go ahead and just keep it out and invest in something better.

im with zthummer, but if you want a serious answer, my friend had the same problem, turned out his deck was low passed @ 80 and his amp was high passed @ 80 hz, just a thought

carefull when you pull it out.. it might x-plode

but uhh, doesn't sound like you have an amp.. what are some more details about your install

Is there a amplifier hooked up with the system? If it is just a HU hooked up to a sub your not gonna get much response.

Geez people come on. The guy is on here asking for help, not an opinion of his stuff.

But like acold7dusta said, check your settings. Make sure that the crossover settings (if it has them) are set properly. And theCybe does bring up a point, Do you have an amp hooked up????

yeah i got an amp hooked up to it lol. i would replace it but the budget doesnt allow it ( i do have a kenwood but it gives me err 99 when i try to play a cd). how would i get in to check all those settings? i cant pull up a menu or anything.

I would say try messing with the Eq settings but i do have to agree with these guys sony does not may good car audio equipment at all
