REH Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I will check on the LOC because the nob for it broke off so im not sure how that even stopped it. also its reading 1.6 fluctuating i thnk What is reading 1.6? Not sure if you're talking about voltage from the LOC, or impedance from your woofer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewBigBossWilliams Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 woofer impedance and the LOC is connected to the old subwoofer line then converts to the new one but i really think because that knob broke off, it did something jacked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do this, you want complete silence. Your woofer picking up sound will make the reading fluctuate. Make sure when you check it, you also first touch your probes of your DMM together to see what it reads there, and then when you check the impedance of the coils, subtract the number you got from your DMM at the start. Now wait, you say your LOC is connected to the old subwoofer line? What subwoofer line are you talking about? A factory subwoofer? If yes - Wire it up to your rear speakers instead. The odds are that factory subwoofer wires are connected to a factory amp, and you don't want to run a LOC off of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you killed power to the amp, you may not be getting a signal to that wire now.... Check the wires you're using for your signal to see they're actually producing one for your LOC to use.... Could be your entire problem right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its jacked up because it was working with the old hifonics amp and all i did was disconnect the amp and put the new on up. so idk how ANYTHING couldve been wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do... swap it back out and see if you've got sound. If you do... then you know it's an amp related issue whether it be settings, or faulty. But you really need to just go through the whole wire maze you seem to have going on and check everything over really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
