Sub and Amp Install Help

Hi Guys, I'm having issues with my Sub Hookup. Heres my setup....

1 JL Audio 10W6V2 sub in a sealed box, dual voice coils wired in parallel, and a AlpineMRD-M650 Mono Amplier hooked up with 4 ga. power wire, a 30A inline fuse and grounded to a 10MM bolt in the trunk, hooked up to a Pioneer DEH-3700MP Head Unit, with Twisted RCA Cables and a remote turn on wire. I just installed the amp and sub on Sunday. Everything comes on fine, but when I turn the volume up, the amp stops putting out signal, but the amp still shows to be on.

Turning the ignition switch off and waiting a few minutes lets everything come back on again, the sub will start bumping again. TUrn the volume up to any decent level, and the amp stops putting out again.

I took a DVOM and checked resistance across the speaker box wire input, and I'm at 1.9 Ohms.

So, I have a good sturdy ground, good quality cables, but no bass....anyone have any tips?

Dub

ok, easy enough


I have NOT clue

post in the installation help section at www.caraudioforum.com, make sure to tell what kind of vehicle you have, and just basicly copy this post onto the installation help part of that forum. There's a LOT of knowlage there, but lots of immaturity also. If you can stand that, you "might" fix your problem


It might be wired wrong, is it going into protect mode?

Have you checked all your gain settings? All your amp settings? Are your low and high pass filters set appropriately?

Is only the bass cutting out or the entire system?

Turns out it was the ground cable. Works good now. All I have to do now is find all the rattles!
