[QUOTE="dgessler, post: 1069955, member: 562270"] I'll try and detail my situation here and hopefully someone can pinpoint my error. This is the first time I've ever tried to mess with car audio. Please note my car is already pre-wired, I've had a system for abotu a year, but my old subs stopped working. I had a rockford dual 12" setup until they stopped working. So I went ahead and made a new box with two 12" Alpine type r's, using a box from Sub Zone. I've never made a box before, but this is what I did: [B]Inside the box connections:[/B] I bought a long peice of 12 awg gauge wire (directed), cut it in two peices, then split them both. So, four peices. I connect positive to positive, and negative to negative on both sides, according to my amp's manual. I also plugged in the short two sided plug which came with both subs according to Rockford's manual. I wrapped the wire inside the little whole in the metal inside each of the terminal cups, and used some tape which appeared to be electrical, to hold it in place. Using non electrical tape wouldn't cease everything from working, would it? [B]Outside the box:[/B] I pretty much switched amps, with the HiFonics BX1000D amp I bought, and I noted where all the plugs went on my old rockford 2 channel amp, and did a mirror image for the new amp with connecting the wires. I then hook up the sub, the amp powers good, no protect light, just absolutely no sound at all from the subs. This is my new amp: [URL="http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/1506"]http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/1506[/URL] And these are the new subs: [URL="http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=alpswr1242d"]http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=alpswr1242d[/URL] Help please!
