HELP, stuck wiring sub and mutant 2 channel amp!! it shoud be working? see pge 2

[boneybradley]

you need the remote cable connecting to the head unit (blue aerial wire usually) and i hope you ran the rca leads away from the red power lead? (its best to let the rca's follow the 6x9 wires you've put in)

hi,
there arent any 6 x 9s connected as yet, i just wanted the sub working first!
the power and rca leads werent overly close...?
i just dont know where on the head unit it goes?
we did put it on the connection on the back of the hu that said remote, it lit up but no sound came out of it?
lol, thanks for your reply!!

[robz]

ok,
i had another go this am,
i looked on the hu, it says attach the rem wire to a blue/white wire comint from the back of it!
now the amp lights up (blue light) but nothing is coming out of the sub
(the amp is mounted to the back of the sub and was already plugged in?)
so is it now a probem with the hu that it isnt picking the amp up??
or is something else??
im soo confused i thought i had figured, lol!!
would appreciate any help!!

check on the amp and back of headunit where you plug the rca's in it should say output on the stereo and input on the amp.

2nd to check is where you put the sub cable to on ure amp, is it bridged should show u where to put it on the side of the amp.

3rd sounds stupid is the sub connected inside the box?

4th amp gain so many people leave it right down so you wouldnt get any sound!

if the lights on then that means you have power and the amp will work! so must just be the signal to the amp ie:the music! so start at the headunit check rca as said there trace it to the amp check where there pluged to on the amp then check ure amp to sub conection

hope that helps

thanks for that, i'll have a bash on me dinner!
really appreciate your help!!!
i turned all the values on the amp to about half way so as not do do any damage if it does suddenly get signal.
as far as is it connected in the boc, i think its a sealed unit???
i suppose this is the problem getting this stuff 2nd hand, lol
i'll let ya know how i get on!!
thanks again!

[robz]

it didn't work;(
think it may be the hu,
but im gonna try the 6x9s on the amp, see what happens...
any more ideas???

[dubbinmk3]

would be suprised if it is the headunit but its possible. yeah try it on a 6x9 just to elminate the sub if it still doesent work then id say its either the amp or the headunit then not unleass youve got dodgt rca's

[robz]

on the hu it says no more than 200 a? or is it w? cant remember without it infront of me, and the guy i bought it off said that ive got a 300watt amp i think???
could that be something to do with it??
it should only need to send music info down the cable though shouldnt it??
not any power??
cheers!!

[dubbinmk3]

yeah that will have nothing to do with it mate

as you said its only sending a signal to the amp, aslong as youve got it plug in where it sayd output then its fine

ill have a think and try come up with more ideas for you to try mate

[robz]

cheers pal..
ok, the 6x9s defo work fine...
so we pulled the sub apart....
nothing obvious, we tried putting the bridged connectionstraight fromm the amp rather than through the connection at the box and it still didnt work, which im guessing means the sub is buggered???
can they be repaired and by me or is it a send away job??
what kind of cost am i looking at, lol??
really appreciated your help though mate!!!
