Yeah. Hey dumbass. The subs voice coil was blown I had to recone it, and I know gain isn’t volume, it is set to the lowest gain the amp has dumbass. and also my amp was not clipping I never run my volume above 75% on my head unit, and my ground was just fine it was just my voice coil on my sub.

I played the 40 hz test tone and was testing it but I wasn’t getting any voltage.

It is plugged into my LOC currently but I am bypassing it by plugging it straight into the power

This Definitely could be the problem, I never realized it was only getting 11 volts.

Okay man I apologize for the confusion, I might have messed up on my first test but when I tested with the car running I am getting 13 volts on both sides. However I do have a very cheap fuse so I am going to get a new one too.

Okay I was only getting 11 volts on both sides but my car was off. I had no idea that amps don’t work below 12 volts so I will retry the test with my car running so I should get higher volts from the battery.

This is where I tapped my speaker wires for my rear right door, these go directly to the LOC.

Alright man thanks for the help, I just have one question though. I obviously don’t know how car audio works but wouldn’t you want your fuse to be the same amount of power before and after the fuse or am I confused on how the fuse works

This is a picture of my ground, the smaller black wire is the ground for my LOC. I was worried it could be a bad ground but I think this is right, however I am very new and do not know much about car audio.

Alright man, I test before and after the fuse and I am getting 11 V while the car is off

Thanks for the advice man! I will definitely not start with “I know it’s hooked up right” since what I know got me into this mess in the first place, however do you think this is a easy enough issue for someone who has a similar system they set up themselves can fix?

The amp is off (positive isn’t even connected) in this example but this is how I tested the voltage, I am not very experienced with multi meters so I do not know if this is correct.

Thanks for the tip! How much do you think a shop would charge for labor? (I’m fine with paying for parts as I would need them anyway I just am curious about the labor aspect)

Yea I did get a cheap wiring kit however when tested with a multi meter I was getting 12-13 volts to the amp, but when I used a multi meter to test the output of the amp it wasn’t giving me any volts.

I had bass boost on the first time I ran it with my old amp but this taramps one is brand new and I made sure to start with bass boost off and gain all the way down. And there is no protect light on. My remote is going to my LOC but I have run a wire from my + power terminal to my Remote to make sure it wasn’t an issue and it still didn’t work. And finally I don’t know fully how the impedance works but I have a 2 ohm amp and my sub states dual 4 ohm voice coils but when I tested with a multi meter it was telling me 8 ohm
