Help with aftermarket sub
OK I have a old school PPI 250pc its a 200w X1 @ 4ohm, I thought I would get a LOC its a scosche loc 80 And have an old JBL sub laying around with a sealed box. So I put the amp install kit (8 gauge) in the 06 cobalt ss w/pioneer system, then I hook up the loc to the factory sub found the wiring diagram on here for it I wired like this
L sub neg GN/BK to WH/BK of the LOC
L sub pos D-BU/WH to white of LOC
R sub neg L-BU/BK to Gray/Black of LOC
R sub pos D-GN to gray of LOC
The sub (svc) is just wired pos to pos, neg to neg in the box
Then I hook the sub box to the amp bridged L+ and R-
So after I do this I have hardly any sound at all from the sub, so I check the gain on the LOC turn it up a bit and a little better. Then I check the gain on the amp and really makes no difference? So I check the RCA's to make sure they are ok. I unplug one, and bam a lot better! So I plug the other one back in and it gets quiet again...it will do this with either rca's unplugged. So I think maybe I have the Sub out of phase and make sure the wires are connected right, and they are. So whats going on? Could the LOC not be working or wired incorrectly?
