Sub problem

[thz71]

Is there a way to tell of I'm getting g anything out of the amp.

Hook amp to a door speaker. Easy to do. Just splice into ur head unit harness

 

[thz71]

OK there's no continuity through the subs either one of them so does that mean they're blown?

 

[Purefection]

Or the wires are off inside the box but I'm assuming you checked that. But yes. Blown

Woooooooow they're like 4 months only that's great yah I pulled them out of the box and checked thwm

Check the subs coils with a DMM. they should be either 2 ohm or 4 ohm (resistance check). If they check good then put the DMM on VAC with the music going and you should see the reading go all over the place. If subs show greater than 4 ohms I would say they are toast, if they show less than 1.5 ohms, it's quite possible they are shorted. Make sure you check each coil independently (unwired) so another coil doesn't interfere with your reading.

They're svc and they are reading overload on resistance check. I hooked a small speaker to the amp and it played but was not loud I figured the amp would blow the small speaker right away but the speaker seemed to handle it Fine

Overload means >2000m ohms. They are toast
