Ok im new here, and somewhat new to car audio A quick break down alpine 1dx200 HU ken wood 3 way front speakers Kenwood 3 way rears Amped, with a Visonik 400w 4 channel amp Now my subs I have 2 8 inch solobaric Kicker l5's 300w rms and 600w peak 4ohms Im goin parallel wiring on this for a Hifonics Bxi1208d amp 1200w @ 1ohm Ok soo everythign is hooked up, to what i see and feel is correct, 4gauge power wire into a dblock, my ground a 4 guage .. The visonik amp turns on the speakers work, it sounds great, nice and loud, clear The Hifonics amp turns on, No issues, but i hear no sounds whatsoever... None at all Can anybosy trouble shoot me some possibilities of whats doin this? I switched rcs, nothing
I had a friend look at it, and we switched the rcas that work into the amp and still nothing... he also took out the box and put it in his car and it works soo were thinking it maybe the amp
the amp powers on but no sound? why don't you try to hook your amp in your friends car to see if it works there?
Well, check the rca's for signal comming from the first amp, thats your starting point is your losing signal somwhere, could be in the daisy chain of the two amps. if they have signal then move to the next point of entry. work it out from there to the rca outs. also check the input voltage of the second amp, it might require higher thn what the passthrough on the first is feeding.
He's talking about your RCAs not your power. Your RCAs are measured in voltage. The higher the voltage the lower your gain will need to be set. if the voltage is too low then the amp won't be able to make anything of it even with a lot of gain.
