i just wanted to know if anybody knew why the red light on my amp was on. could it be the new sub i just bought. it is 1800 watts max, 600 rms. the amp is 980 watts. i had 2 kenwood typhoon 12" subs on before and everything was fine. i took those out and put the new sub by itself and all of a sudden things started going wrong. does anyone have any idea why? |

i was thinking i might have fried the rca cables on the radio since my radio has 3 sets. the set i had hooked up was a "subwoofer" set that allows you to control the sub from the radio itself. but when i tried the other two sets, nothing changes. red light stays on. i even tried 2 different pair of rca cables. is is really aggravating having no sounds. |

your gound cable might be loose, iv had the problem of that happening, check the tightness of the ground cable to and from your amp. |

could be ground yup.
could be the load on the amp.
how many coils is that new sub, and how many ohms per coil?
what is the amp? how many channels?
how is it all wired?
