[QUOTE="R0ID_RAGE, post: 3007339, member: 576398"] alright...i ended up grounding my amp to the metal on the top of my trunk...all my wires are connected, NOTHING! the amp turns on when i turn my radio on, but i'm not getting anything from the subs...(they are turned on on the radio...) why would my amp turn on, but send nothing to my subs? would a bad ground cause my subs to not work at all? i connected my sub straight...dual coil, so coil 2 negative to coil 1 positive, then coil 1 negative to amp neg, coil 2 pos to amp pos...(2-channel amp, just used 1 channel) the RCA's are plugged in to both my HU(at the sub slot) and my amp. tried a different sub too(single coil, same thing...) when i turn my radio on, all the speakers work, the amp turns on, but nothing to my subs?? plz help [/QUOTE]
