DAMMIT MAN got hu back from alpine, and rca outputs still not working

alpine sent me a new hu and the rcas arent working from the hu on either my eclipse amp or alpine amp? is their a possibility the rca wire is bad? my friend gave me some pheonix gold wire but its used. what could be the problem? did the hi low adapter mess up the amps inputs???? need help dont know what to do!

damn, i'm out of ideas...

dealer said rcas works fine, yet when you connect it to your amps you don't get a signal.

is the amp getting power?

matter a fact the alpine amp i got never worked with the alpine hu, but it worked off the hi low, think the hi low adapter magnetized the rca inputs?
