Ok, so i ran a 0 gauge to a distributor in the trunk, 4 gauge to my high/low and also to my mono. Now, i hook up everything right... I have 2 problems. One, my components on my passenger side wont power up. Second, amps turn on but no signal to subs. Checked wiring and it all seems to be fine. The "remote" wire i connected to my mono amp and then to the 4 channel. Is that a no-no? Im not sure what wire from the headunit its supposed to be attached to. I have an alpine 9855. Any help would be great. Thank you.

 

This could be an issue with the components, a loose wire, blown speakers, bad amp, bad input, bad signal. You're running rca's from the headunit to both inputs on the amp right?

Double check the wiring inside the box, and on the terminals of the box and amp.

This SHOULD be fine, and since both amps are powering up its not an issue.

Um... the headunit should attach to the wiring harness. The RCA's from the headunit should connect to each amp. The blue/white wire from the headunit should go to the remote wire connection on each amp.

You're welcome

 

he never said he hooked up RCAs....maybe that's the problem. Getting no signal.

 

True, but one side is getting sound hmm..

 

Maybe not all are hooked up....

 

problem fixed...buddy wired my subs wrong so i rewired them. Put dynamat on the trunk lid but now i have tremendous rattle from my rear deck. More dynamat?? Also, lights dim mostly in the rear tails, hardly any from headlights or fogs. Almost done with the big 3 but would adding an optima help?

 

Its hard to make the H.I.D.'s dim cuz they are not like regular lights. The optima would help but a BatCap is the ultimate way to go.

 

I see so many ppl saying a cap isnt worth it...but im sure it has to help even if it is a little. Just dont enjoy people behind me getting blown up from my taillights.
