Subs wont thump.
Is there any way that my cd player could be messed up? I have 2 12's and a 600 Watt amp. Everything works fine, except in my car. Is there any way that my cd player wont read to my subs? Everything is hooked up, it just wont work.

Re: Subs wont thump.
well buddy you make it hard for me to fix your problem. I don't know what is going on. But here are some things to check for, they are common mistakes that I see. Is your blue remote turn on wire hooked up to your amp. is your amp turning on. Check your ground and check all power connections, also make sure that your fuse is good. Are your rca cable's plugged into your deck and amp, make sure to check this out! You said you had 2 woofers hooked up. Are you running them in parellel or series. This may case your amp to run at an unstable ohm load and cause your am to shut off and go into protection. Try hooking them different. 2 channel amp hook + to + And - to - on both subs, this will make your load stabel for your amp. If this does not work tell me what is happening and what kind of equippment you have and I will be able to help you more. Let me now what is hapening, Talk to to you latter!

Re: Subs wont thump.
yes, the amp light is on, and when i turn my cd player off, the amp turns off as well. I am not sure but would it matter the fact that it is a mono amp? And how am i suppose to hook up my subs with a mono amp, series or parallel?

Re: Subs wont thump.
are they dual voice coil subs? Did you try just hooking one sub to see if it works. With series if you have a blown sub both subs will not work because it is taking a link out of the chain. Do you have a multi meter? If you do set it to 20 ohm and test the speaker wire at the speaker wire at the amp tell me what you find out.

most likely its your RCA's... i had a similar problem when only one of my 12's was running... I broke one side of the RCA's replaced them and everything works great.

Re: Subs wont thump.
Had the same problem... it ended being the wire going from my amp to my sub that was bad...
