96saturnsl Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 ok so i have a audioque hdc3 18 inch sub its brand new i made a box wired it up and a friend gave me a amp to use thats also brand new and i cant figure out why this wont work...i wired my amp up and hooked the speaker wires to the amp. the amp is putting out power through the speaker wires but the sub isnt playing anything. its confusing the hell outta me ive never came across this problem. any ideas? oh and if you take a 9 volt battery and touch the speaker wires to it the sub moves so i dont understand it, any help is appretiated thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azagtoth502 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Blown sub? Bad RCA's? Exactly how is it wired?

Guest Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) how do you know the speaker wires are getting power? can you see the electricity flow through them? /sarcasm need more info. what kind of amp. what coils on the sub. how do you have the sub wired to the amp edit: does the amp even turn on?

AdamTheAudioMan Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Check your ground, or move your ground wire to another part of the chassis. I had this same problem, and I relocated my ground wire to another spot, it worked! Quote UNDER-CONSTRUCTION ''Old School Build'' maybe it sounds like an 18 cause theres 3 fucking "port" holes ghetto drilled in the "box" 190 db when your done? Yea that's the lowest decibal ill be satisfied with when I'm done like I said its stage one and I lost my job u guys should consider shit instead of just talk it lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96saturnsl Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) well the amp turns on powers up fine. upon searching some more i realized my second batt was only putting 3 volts to the amp...so im charging that as we speak...i used it to start my truck one day and forgot to recharge it oops. i have a fosgate amp in there before and one day it quit working and went into protect mode and now that amp will turn on but wont put nuttin out so my friend gave me a autotek pos 2000 watt amp to use for now the amp and sub are brand new, the sub i know has power going to it cuz i probed the speaker wires with a dmm at the sub... im hoping maybe the low voltage on the second batt is the problem. but wouldnt it still put at least something out with only 3 volts? my rcas are good i checked them as well. edit: sub is wired down to 1 ohm its a dvc 2 ohm. and yes amp is one ohm stable incase your wondering Edited November 12, 2011 by 96saturnsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattc3366 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Its most likely the voltage. Im pretty sure there has to be a certain amount of voltage to the amp for it to operate.

Blue Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 If the battery only has 3 volts I'm going to say that it is a dead battery. Quote formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies.

n8ball2013 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 considering anything under 9 is a deep cycle Id hope his second battery is a D cell.

Quiet Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 So i dont' get it. Your second batt isn't connected to the electrical system in your car? Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
