no power to my subs

[asianjack]

just got done hooking everything up, but when i turn it on, my subs get no power at all. my rca's are fine and all the wires are hooked up correctly. what else could be the problem?

Checklist:

[ ] Does the amp go into protect?

[ ] Do you have a multi meter??

[ ] Does the amp have power - verify with multi meter

[ ] Does the remote wire turn on - verify with multi meter

[ ] Do the RCAs have power going to them - verify with multi meter

[ ] Do the outputs on the amp have power going to them when turned up and speakers disconnected - verify with multi meter

[ ] Check subwoofer impedance at the amp with a multi meter

[ ] Do your subs read some bizarre ohm load - verify with multi meter

i metered the sub, amp and rca's and still nothing. all seemed to be right when i metered it. im pretty much stumped at this point.

i would say check the sub wires again because i was rewiring my sub and wasnt paying attention and had both positives from the sub on the positive and negative to the amp. the result was no power

I really wish the like button worked.

What size wire are you running, where is your ground?

im running 1/0 and ground is on frame. amp turns on with my head unit so i know theres power going to it. it lights up when its on

^{If this is the case then the problem is in your amp or RCA's, or subs. find some random speaker and hook it up and see if it works.}
