no signal to bass amps???


Recommended Posts

Just wired everything up yesterday, HU is a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X595. When ever i turn the truck on, the HU comes on, mids/higns amp comes on starts playing, bass amps are on, but sometime it will take a minute or two for the bass to kick on even though the amps are both showing green power lights.

any ideas?

edit: and sometimes i think i can feel the music playing through the subs, but it is so faint im not 100% sure if it is just vibration from the mids.

delay turn on? on the sub amps? but 1 or 2 minutes is way too long. doesnt make sense. but then it works like normal?

no delay turn on, it seems random in length. After it kicks on everything works like a charm, it is just bothering me because i know something isnt right.

edit: i have had this unit on multiple amp set ups, and brands, this is the first time my kenwood has done ANYTHING like this.

after messing with it, it seems to kick on instantaneously after hitting 27 out of 35 volume, so something with the amps and signal voltage maybe?

could having 3 amps on the remote wire cause this maybe? like the bass amps require more to fully start up rather than just power on? didnt have this issue when it was jus the mids/highs amp and 1 bass amp. Now that there is two is some extra factor playing in?

hopefully someone will chime in.

3 amps on 1 remote is a lot i would try a relay to help with the remote

but kicking on when turning the vol. up leads me to rca voltage i would start there plug the rca's into the mids and highs amp to try and rule out a sub out rca problem

Have you ever had your woofers blown?
