Check the cross-over settings on the amp and Hu.
Also, check the RCA's and make sure you are getting a good signal to the amp. |

BS you use use a DMM to check voltage
Scope is needed to benchtesting output power though. |

that is what the guy at eclipse tech support told me.
also i thought i might have a ground problem so i ran 0 guage from the frame to the - battery terminal and from the firewall to the - terminal
now my voltage runs at like 15 is that good or bad? |

Do you have another amp you can hook up just to test? Try that if you can.
Also, to test output on the RCA's...Just use a DMM. Disconect the RCA's from the amp and put one lead on the center pin and another on the outer casing. Run a 60hz tone and see what voltage you get at the RCA. |
