Cheers LL.  :smiley:

Nelds...I don't know how I could have done that because I have the speaker wire running from the front speaker terminals to the input on the crossovers, each one going to the left and the same to the right. :huh:

Have you checked the fuse in the Amp wiring? My amp positive has its own fuse.

IT'S ALL OK!!!

Thank God LOL!

I checked all the fuses and one had blown which was for the lights, the clocks and central locking. Replaced that and it all works fine.

In regards to the amp, I made a complete noob error.

The RCA cable supplied I plugged into the rear RCA output of the headunit, so that's why it thought my speakers were the rear ones, and the reason the sub wasn't working properly was because I needed an RCA cable for that to goto the amp.

It's all sorted now though.

Thanks for everyone's help!

vdub - Did you not hear me at 10am? LOL!

LL - It sounds the shizzle! I have Infinity Kappa components at the front, a 4 channel JBL amp and a 12" JBL GTO sub, and it all sounds so clear even at really high volume. I will be deaf by the summer I think lol!

I have a few places where it rattles, and I think a couple have nuts or something have fallen down behind the rear lights so when it's on loud you can hear them rattling, but it should be easy enough to sort out.

The amp has a nice white glow to it in the dark as well! Looks sexy lol!
