[QUOTE="Matt, post: 3235, member: 540670"] so on the HU you just have a Subwoofer output. What you can do to run it into the amp in both Left and Right Channels is by like a spliter that will have 1 female and on the other end have 2 males. This way you can run both channels. It is really for a mono block amp, but spliting it will give the signal to both. well i belive you could have a defective sub, would you be able to return it?
