Need some advice.
I put my subs in yesterday with the help of a few friends (ok, more like with the help of one friend and the company of two others), anddddd... they don't work. I mean, they should. Even if they're blown they should still produce some sort of sound. I've got power to the amp, so it should be working. An amp that's fried wouldn't put out 12 volts when you test it, right? All the cables are brand new, but the amp is a bit dated. I've got a 700 watt Bazooka mono amp and dual 10" Kicker CVRs in a factory sealed enclosure that I'm trying to hook up to my aftermarket Pioneer DEH-P640 head unit in my 2004 Acura RSX base model (it's an old head unit - I bought a new Pioneer DEH-1300MP, but I can't get the dang faceplate off my car so I can't pop the deck out and replace the old HU). My remote wire is all hooked up, spliced to the blue and white remote wire coming from my deck and all that jazz... the RCA cables are hooked up... it's grounded correctly (hence the fact I have power coming to the amp)... etc.
What's wrong here? All my speakers work, but the subs don't do anything. I feel like the amp is at least powering on because the ignition starts a little bit slower than normal (which is typical because more power is needed to turn on both the amp and the deck than just the deck alone). Did I maybe hook something up incorrectly? Or is it the amp? Kinda ruled out the subs being the issue, but idk for sure. Help!
If you need pics or any more explanations in order to help me out, just let me know.
