[QUOTE="psych0ticnemes1, post: 6014184, member: 560430"] No no, use both the red and white prongs from 1 subwoofer output (= 1 set of rcas consisting of 1 red and 1 white female prong) I thought you meant you had TWO subwoofer outputs... which to me means a total of 4 prongs, two red and two white. If this is how you currently have it set up, it is correct. If the amp produces any amount of power, it is probably a wiring issue somewhere, not the amp itself. Don't use the rear output of the EQ. It should be run straight from the head unit to the sub amp. The signal from the sub output of the head unit is mono, which is what your sub amp needs. The REAR output from your EQ is a stereo signal, meant for mids and highs. You should have two RCA cables coming out of your head unit, one for your sub amp and one for your EQ. You want your EQ to control your mids and highs, NOT your sub right? [/QUOTE]
