First Ill name off my system

2 Audiobahn AW1206T 12" subs inverted
2 Clarion DPX 1000.2 Amps bridged @ 2ohm
Blaupunkt CD50 Deck

So Im installing my stereo into my 2nd Crx today and I dont know whats going on.
The amps turn on fine during both ignition and when the car is on but Im getting no bass so I think the rca's arent transferring the signal or I didnt hook them up right

Coming off of my deck there is a harness with 4 rca style connectors with about 6 inches of wire between the connectors and the deck. I THINK 2 were black and 2 were grey, but I remember them being labelled LF/RF/RR/LR , both amps are getting there own set of RCAS because they dont have the 4 holes to connect them.

Are these wires Im talking about even supposed to be for the rcas? There was also a blue/white wire that I used for the remote and it turns the amps on so I thought for sure those were for the rcas because there in the same little clip

Any help appreciated, Im gonna stay home tonight to help hide some wires and be close to the computer so I can make any adjustments

thanks

Sounds right to me, make sure your grounds are good and if it's not that try another deck in there just to test...

 

good possibility that your RCA's are bad bro, the chances that both are bad are slim though

 

Ya there not even the same brand, one is a stinger 14 foot, and the other set I got from radioshack (free) when I got my second amp by surprise

Is the wires Im talking about deifnetley the RCA's though? BEcause thats the only thing I can think of being the rcas and the specs says 2 UAX impouts, meanins RCAS right?

 

don't mind me asking, but didn't you have this problem a few months ago too?

 

Yup had the same problem like a month ago and never got it figured out and I decided to make that car my track car being as it already had the nice motor and I didnt wanna ruin it with my 9 cube box, thats why I said 2nd crx, this ones gonna be the "show" crx

BUmp

and its exactly the same equipment? sounds like the radio to me

 

bah, I guess Ill just take some pictures tonight, promise to come back tomorrow morning PLEASE! lol

 

**** I forgot to take pictures

 

 

Hmmm, Ive got the same deck waiting to go in my civic, have an amp to, any help on the rcas anybody?

 

it's a yellow clip with with all the rca's and remote-turn-on right?

it should only plug into one place and yeah it should be the right ones, --this will sound ignorant---you do have the rca's plugged into the input of the amp, and not the output right? -- don't mean to sound rude...

 

There is only and imput on the amps, liked there is only 1 set of red/yellow on each amp, there isnt a second set so you can connect them like Ive seen on some

Ill get a pic

 

Yeah, the red and white "red/yellow" should be your inputs, on the cd- it should be a yellow plug for the outputs, just watchout 'cuz that radio does have inputs which could be in rca form, but according to your spec sheet you have sub output, so make sure it's both on and turned up, should be a setting in the menu or audio section...... pics from the back of the radio might be helpful...

 

I probably just have everything wired wrong and mixed up

Is a certain color coming off the deck supposed to connect to a certain color on the deck? the then from the rcas to the amp?

 

MAYBE YOUR RADIO HAS SUBwoofer on 'off'

like my alpine did that to me i had the sub amp plugged in but no signal held down the eject button and it said 'subwoofer on' and BASS was alive!

 

Why the eject button? Hmm guess I gotta bust out the manual, never even thought about that myself

Doesnt seem to be a high dollar deck though so I dunno if it would have that feature

thats what my alpine uses to turn on and off the subwoofer

it would probably be different on oither decks

and my alpine has 3 outs one for sub, doubt yoiurs would have the feature if it only has 2 or one

 

not all alpine's work through the eject button -- side note -- other's have to go through the setup menu

i know, i didn't say all did just using mine as an example

WOT has a blaupunkt anyway

 

yeah, I hear ya... wasn't trying to flame ya, I have an alpine that goes through the menu........

 

I dont think there was a sub on/off option in my menu

Is there something esle it could be called, I couldnt go to the car today because Ive been studying for a calculus exam tomorrow

 

I figured I just have the colors mixed up or backwards or something
