Aaron Dominguez Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Well I have a Cadence s2w12 connected to a Cadence Fxa2500.1D and it was working up until a couple days ago and the amp stopped turning on. Last night I put a wire from the power to the remote terminal while the regular remote wire was connected and the amp turned on but the music coming from the sub sounded horrible, is it my remote wire?
Ben Fultz Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 If your amp only turns on with the jumper, then yes the remote wire is bad ( pinched, unhooked from back of deck, remote lead on deck is no good, ect). As far as the sound issue, it sounds like you may have another issue also.
Skullz Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 I would check everything. Get a dmm and see if the remote wire is sending power out. Check all wiring to make sure nothing is pinched, cut or shorting out on the body or anywhere else. Check the subs coils to make sure one of them hasn't shorted out. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
jarrius Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Unhook the remote and try it with the jumper again and play music if it still sounds bad you got more problems bro 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
Aaron Dominguez Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Posted August 21, 2013 I hooked up the amp in my friends car and it powered up, I'm guessing its the head unit. I hooked up my subwoofer to my friends amp and it still sounded sloppy, could the short have ruined my subwoofer?
jarrius Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Yes check what the ohms your coil(s) read it might have burnt them 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
Aaron Dominguez Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Posted August 23, 2013 I just hooked my amp up again, ground, power, rca, remote to red 12v on headunit, and it didn't power up, I put a jumper and it powered. I hooked up the remote straight to the battery and it didn't power, I hooked up a different subwoofer and it made the same sound as my Cadence s2 subwoofer when playing music, wtf is wrong with my system?
Ben Fultz Posted August 23, 2013 Report Posted August 23, 2013 Did you use same remote wire from before if so, that's probably the problem, might be a short in the wire.
