ive got everthing hooked up but i hooked up my rca cables to the subwoofer cables, and i get nothing coming from the subwoofer. i have a blue and a red rca cable running from the amp and i have the plugged into the subwoofer/non fading cables. could this be because my ground wire is not grounded properly, right now im clueless. what could it be, i have a 2004 chevy silverado no bose or onstar.

i have an 800watt powerbass amp and 2 10in mtx subwoofers

Yes you are. How about some models numbers of the equipment your talking about.

Is it an aftermarket or stock system? Did you hook up the amp turn on? Do you have an amp? Or just a sub sitting on the seat?

So where's the model #s of the amp/subs? Still missing that stuff.

the amp is an 800 watt powerbass, and the subs are

MTX Thunder 5500 T5510-04

10" 4-ohm Component Subwoofer

Is this a new set-up, or an old set up with a new headunit? If it is a whole new system just start from the beginning and check all of your connections.

 

Make sure:

 

There is power to the amp

 

It is properly grounded

 

RCAs are hooked up tight

 

Speaker wire from the amp to the box, the box to the subs

 

Remote turn on is hooked up

 

Settings on the AVIC have the amp on (I don't know where this would be, but its a possibility)

 

If its just a new head unit, I would probably check the last two of that list first.

i figured it out, i didn't have the remote wire hooked up.
