5 channel amp phenonmenom...please read...>
finally fought mother nature yesterday and finished the preliminary install in my car. After putting in the amp and hooking up just the subwoofer, The amp is a PPI 5440 (5 channel), but I run it in 3 channel mode. I run my Boston Pros 4.5 comps and a single JL 12W0. Well it seems like the subwoofer output is not working. I checked all the other outputs and they function properly. I'm kinda wondering what the problem could be...solder joint? power supply? (dont think so but who knows) Any insight that you all may have would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
thanks

if you bought it from a local store, just take it back and get another one. i dunno about your local stores, but the ones around my area are pretty good about just giving a new replacement for defective equipment. especially since you've proven the problem is in the sub channel and that your sub works.

Just kiddin buddy.
Do you have the manual? Are you sure that you don't have to change the wiring in 3-channel mode? My urban 4-3-2-1-way amp has to be wired differently for each type of setup.
