Sub not working!
Posted: Mon May 18, 2009 9:43 pm
I'm stumped..
Got a shiney new Sony headunit to charge/play my iPod whilst driving...and also a big Vibe CBR 1000 sub/amp combo in the boot, hooked it all up tonight...headunit works fine ( except for loosing memory if i turn the car of for more than 10 seconds...something about red/yellow wires needing to be swapped on the plugs for a constant 'live' ? )
But no sound from the sub, no on light, nothing!
It's all connected properly i believe, 12v to + Ve on battery
Earth wire going to a bolt where another item is already earthed ( brown IS earth..right? )
Remote wire connected to headunit and to sub ( albeit a little thin.. )
What else could it be? Actually stumped!
It could be that the remote signal is not reaching the amp to actually turn it on...
Or that there isn't a proper +ve connection to it, what am i doing wrong! Help
