Bocaj Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have finished upgrading my stereo which now consists of a Pioneer DEH-7200HD, DD Audio 6.5" components, Eclipse 6x9's, DD Audio C5b for the mids and highs, Sundown Audio 1200 SAE powering a DD Audio 3512. My problem is that I can't get the deck to send signal to the sub amp. I turned on the subwoofer output on the deck but it seems like all the bass is coming out of the front and rear stage. This has been driving me crazy because I don't know what else to do. The weird thing to me is that when I powered the front and rear stage with the speaker wires off of the main harness of my old deck and ran a rca back to my sub amp it worked perfectly but as soon as I added a 4 channel amp I lost all output from my sub amp. I hope this makes sense. If not I can try to explain it better. Car 1991 Honda Accord EX System I now have and is finally installed!

herbykw Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Go through all the setting on the deck, make sure the sub is "ON". Make sure your RCAs are good. (mine did this once, it was bad wires). Check you remote wire? Do you have a DMM? If so, make sure your rem the ampote is getting the signal to turn on.

I used the Level 3 stinger rca's. I'm sure that the amp is powered up because the power light is on. I have a cheap o scope and from what I can tell it seems as though signal isn't making it to the amp. I even double checked the back of the deck to make sure that the sub rca didn't possibly come off and it was still connected. Car 1991 Honda Accord EX System I now have and is finally installed!

herbykw Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 If you can, swap out the RCAs for another set(even if they are cheap) just temporary to test it. Like i said, i had a similar problem and i thought my amp was blown. Somehow my RCAs got pinched and broke, but you couldnt see it, they looked fine. Other then that i hope your amp is ok. 06 300C 5.7 Hemi K&N CAI JVC KW-AVX640 6.1" DVD DC Audio 3.5k 6 DC Audio 8"s 6 cubes 8" aero port at 32hrtz http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183798-chrysler-300c-8-build/?p=2731834#entry2731834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockbrook Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 wow! this is the exact thing that happened to me with my set-up, and i've been assuming my JL amp is blown.....but it did smoke a little. but the next day it turned on just got no sound out of it.

Bocaj Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I figured it out! The ends of my rcas are designed to tighten down by turning the collar to the right. It makes sense now because when I was putting the rcas on the back of the head unit some of them were hard to get on. After I did that the sub kicked on and scared me. Doing this also took away any trace of alt whine which is awesome! Car 1991 Honda Accord EX System I now have and is finally installed!
