yo I just ran all my wires for amp and subs today.

I have the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X579 HU.

Amp has power and RCA is plugged in Sub RCA.

Speaker wire coming out of Channel One on Amp going to the Subs in parrell.

Subs DONT HIT???????????

:- {

Anyone got any Ideas??????

PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!

 

are there any sub movement at all?

 

You may may want to start your question in another way rather than addressing people as "Yo".

Moving on...if the amp is a two channel you should not have it run to just channel one. Also make sure that your sub output is turned On in the radio, then alos check whether its turned up or not.

Does the power light come on? Protection light? Clipping light?

subs could be out of phase too, check it out

 

I am sorry DON,

Edit: Hello Everyone, Can you please help me with my problem. Is that better DON ?

 

There was no need for sarcasm, as you see I was trying to help. My only point is that people may be more like to respond when not being referred to as "yo".

RCA's plugged into the head unit?

 

everything is pluged in.

Amp has power and power led is lit up. Protection light is off. i am getting noting from the subs. No sound at all. Could i have the rca plugged in wrong i tried every way possibile

 

Did you plug them into the sub output from the HU? Is sub output turned on/up? What amp is it? Is it still connected to just one channel?

--Don

 

yes they are in the sub output on the HU. And the Sub output on the HU is on. It is a Rockwood Amp. (A no name). I have not had i chance to change anything around yet i am at work. I and going to mess with it tonight. How do you think that i should have the speaker wires set up. the amp has 4 channels put can be changed to 2. What do you think i should do?

 

adding to degree of intelligence in the greeting of Yo, DO YOU HAVE AN AMP, AND IS IT TURNED ON?

 

WOW is it that big of a deal that you both need to comment about it. When you address your friends you never start off with Yo. I am sorry about my Poor English. Would it have been better if it was Yo Guys, what is that big deal. And to add to your degree of intelligence Did you read the first post "Amp has POWER and RCA is plugged in Sub RCA"

 

no i cant read.

 

It isnt so much of a big deal, as it is a respect issue. If you want help from members on here or any other forum it is just common courtesy to address them more properly. No one flamed you for it, rather just giving a tip for future posts. Yes Im sure alot of people here talk to and address their FRIENDS with yo, but that is not the case here. Although we are a somewhat friendly community, we are not all "friends". Some people may take your initial intro as discourteous and disrespectful and may not even feel the urge to reply.

ok ok ok, i get the point.

 

Don't know if you tried this but, are the speaker wires inside the box hooked up. They may have fallen off or something. Just something else to check.

 

that was going to be my next suggestion

 

yo!........

 

What subs do you have? those rockwood amps put out a really low RMS and if your subs have low sensetivity, then that could be your problem, just not enough power to make a sound. when i turn the gain on my amps to below %50 its hard to tell they're actually getting power. your subs might be wired incorrectly too. please post the specs of your stuff or at least the model numbers so i can look them up. it sounds to me like your amp is fine so that's most likely not the problem.

 

He meant no disrespect by using the word "yo" to start his greeting. It's no different than "hey" or "hi" or "what up". The fact that someone would consider ignoring his post because he started it with "yo" is grade school, and if it was me, I wouldn't want their opinion anyway.

If you're positive your amp is getting power and that its well grounded, and both ends of the RCAs are firmly attached, and the sub output on the headunit is on, and the bass setpoint isn't at -7 or something, then the previous posts are most likely correct. Its something in the way you wired your speakers. Your gain and LPF aren't set at their lowest setting are they?

If you have a spare 9V battery lying around, you could always hook up the speaker wires to see if you get the sub "pop". At least then you'll know your subs are OK. Use the one in your smoke detector if you don't have a spare. Someone correct me if a 9V isn't the right battery size...

 

YO Neptune97 thank you very much!!!!!! At least someone has my side on this childish YO debate. I will see if i can turn up the sensetivity on the amp and also check the gain and LPF. Thank You both

 

yo yo yo children. lets stick to the ? at hand. all the advice given should work for you. check it out and report back. some people are cough cough, older on the board and do not take well to yo yo yo shizzy or w/e. its ok. its not like were at a 5 star restaurant now are we?

 

i think you're right on that part, I've also been told to use the 9 volt battery checking method

 

Completed!!!!!

Gain and LPF were not turned up.

Thank you All for all you help.
