Subs Volume is not being controlled by the stereo

[agentsmith350 10+ year member]

Hi,

I wired in a Sub to my car but the volume on the Sub is not going up and down with the stereos volume , I have the RCA leads in the sub out sockets of the radio so not sure where im going wrong , Its a cheap china unit but ther rest of the bits on it are ok so cant see why the sub out wouldnt work , there is a Line out with a red and white i could try as well , the others ( FR LL FR RR) are in the ICT adapter .

Any ideas guys ?

Spec -

Headunit : Meos 7

Amp : InPhase IPA600

Sub : Alpine SWR 1040

Car : Nissan 350Z

So.. does this mean you have subs working even with the radio volume at zero? I'm confused...

Its working at the same volume from 1-50 , only at 0 or mute does it go off all together , sorry its hard to explain to the above isnt the clearest to read.

Amp ect all fine , all wiring is fine the only thing not 100% is were the RCA leads are going.

The way it is now i have the front L+R going to the red and white on the ICT adapter , The RCA Leads going to the Rear L+R on the head unit and the black and yellow ( Rear Speakers ) on the ICT Adapter in the L+R Out on the head unit , for some reason anything in the sub out or the L+R out isn't being controlled by the volume on the unit , its not to bad as it was since the only thing wrong is that the rear car speakers are on mid volume at all times unless muted.

Its a cheap china unit

Nuff said.

Just use the front output to feed the sub amp, or learn Chinese and read the manual. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lol, yah, another thing you might try is to pull the power from the head unit and let it discharge. it might start controlling the rear/sub output again, or might not
