I need help!

[fortytha12gauge]

Im helping a friend instaling a system in her car. I hooked up everything the right way and the subs are wired correctly. the thing is im not getting power to the subs. Could it be the head unit? or a bad amp from factory? or the rca cables? any feed back will be great.

is the amp turning on?

yea amp has power. i did a test on the terminals all were good except the speaker terminals.

try switching RCAs, or if you have a friend with an amp, try running a set of RCAs to their amp, if that works, it eliminates the radio and RCAs being the problem.

If you can, run a set of RCAs from their head unit to your amp, that will eliminate the amp being the problem. Its all just trial and error

Do you have power going to the remote terminal on the amp?

I had a problem like this when I installed my sub and amp. My rear speakers were in for warranty repairs so I was faded to the fronts. I hooked the subs to the amp And I couldn't hear anything. It took a while but I finally figured out that I was faded to the front. So if you are using a stock HU, then my problem might be your problem, if you are as oblivous as I am.
