Amp Works, Wiring good, Subwoofers wont play?

Question

Kinda easy, but I have a 99 Intrepid, all the wiring is good and the amp works, even the speaker wiring to the amp is correct, but no sound out of the subs. Whats the deal?

Answer 1

Well, lets see.
The amp is good.
The wires are good.

Blown speaker?

Answer 2

simple test:
1) check to see if your speaker works: using a 9Volt battery connect the speaker terminals to the 9V battery if you see the speaker move your speaker is good to say the least the voice coil is intact. you can also test for wire continuity by disconnecting the speaker wires from the amp and attach the 9v directly to the wires leading to your speaker.
2) is the remote wire connected to your radio? if you have a volt meter can you see on the meter 12Volts at the remote connection of the amp.sometimes you can wire the wrong cable on Alpine H.U. they have two wires a solid blue and a blue/white stripe.
3)try sending an outside signal like a 1.5volt from a small battery through the RCA line or better use a function generator.
if this doesn't work you might want to take it in to a shop. good luck.

Answer 3

The sound to your subs are brought from the deck by the RCA if you say everything else is good it has to be the RCA maybe there not hooked up in the right slots or they could be bad. It doesn't matter if your subs are blown or not you should still be able to hear something coming out

Answer 4

how do you know amp works if the subs dont?
did you hook another speaker to the amp to test it?
are you sure the rca cables are pluged from the deck to the amp? is the gain(power/volume) turned up enough to make sound from the subs?

Answer 5

i'd check your gain settings. then check to make sure your HU knows that your running a sub. some HU's you have to tell it your running a sub. if thats all fine, then i have to ask if your connections are good in the box. if thats fine, then i'd take the sub out of the box and wire it dirrectly to the amp. if you still have nothing then i'd get anther sub and test that one. if that sub doesnt work either, i have no clue. lol, take it in somewhere.

good luck.

Answer 6

you will possibly be able to might desire to alter the rc cables or flow the amp to a distinctive component of the vehicle. If it nevertheless has the comparable concern verify the place the flexibility of the radio is coming from and make helpful the cables are related wisely and make helpful the rc cables are actually not cracked or broken. If none of this works then you definately might prefer a clean amp.
