Sub Woofers and Amp Problem

[Sonny2426]

I'll go try something with my ground wires. I'll be right back
Alright, now i redid my grounds and made my power wire tighter to the battery, but only my pioneers are working.

looking at your diagram plug in the rca's coming from the head unit directly into the pioneer amp, maybe the line out isnt working on the Boss amp.

Make sure u dont have a short n e where....i had that problem and it was the dash speaker not connected corretly...also make sure you alternator is charging the battery....it your battery sucks its going to suck all the power and turn off your amps and stereo....had that problem too, thats why i got a Optima battery,.,

I dont have a voltage checker

go get a test light, they are cheap... unless you get one like mine... which is computer safe and can send ground and power (power probe)...

anyhow, pick up a test light... good thing to have laying around anyway...

take picts and post your actual set up, take pics of where you have made connections to the amps, etc... may help us get a visual... systems are pretty hard to mess up and easy to diagnose and fix as long as you do not have an equipment issue... its like a motor where you have air/fuel/spark, this you either have power/ground/remote issue, with power, or its the equipment...

since it is intermittent, then it isnt a fuse... when it shuts off, check all indicator lights, make sure they are not in protection mode etc.

if you think it may be the remote wire, disconnect the remote wire to the amps at the turn on leads (tape the ends, so that you dont ground them out to the radio, and jump a small wire from your 12+ to the lead on each amp and see if it plays fine...

When i bridge my pioneers, only one will work. When the pioneers are not bridged, both pioneer subs work. Is it bad if i have my remote control wire from my Boss amp hooked up to my system control on my Pioneer amp?

Sounds like a phasing problem. Do you have your positives and negatives hooked up correctly?

Heres one I did awhile for a friend, Pretty much the same thing it looks like minus the distribution box

your going to damage your amp or subs if your running those subs bridged. Your amp is 4 ohm stable bridged and each sub is 4 ohm if you bridging them thats a 2 ohm load your sending to your amp. How are you running your rca's

Will it matter if i use the same size remote wire from my radio to my amp 1, then from my amp 1 to my amp 2?
