Check your subs impedance to establish speaker is working ,Check crutch field advisors website for sub box construction and detailed wiring instructions.
Is the amp switching on? There are two 12v wires that have to be connected. One from a direct constant 12v supply source, and the other one from the ignition switch 12v source.Find a single 12v. supply which you can take from the lighter connection and then trace a 12v wire that runs from your ignition switch. This is mentioned in the amp manual.Double check. If the amp is coming on but no sound, then your wire connections from the amp are not correct.Or you have also connected the speaker wires incorrectly.Remmember not to connect the earth of the speaker wires to the direct earth(body of the car) but to the earth wires that are shown in the manual as this could blow the amp power IC. The earth wires of the speakers are marked -- and + respectfully and are also colour coded.You should have a RCA female plug connector from your amp to the subs. Check everything double and if still no luck their is a possibility that you could have blown an IC in the amp from wrongly connected wires. Hope this is not the case.
pioneer gm 6500 is a 4 ch amp rated at 60w-4 way to small of an amp to run your sub. UNDER-POWERING your sub is more likely to damage spkr than over-powering. my advice,get mono-block to run sub
Ok, for starters. Is your sub a dual 4 ohm sub? If so, great. Is your amp 2ohm stable? If so, then great. If you are running one sub, is your amp a monoblock (single channel) amp? Are you running a two channel amp Your subwoofer is a dual voice coil subwoofer. This means that you have to have power to both voicecoils or risk damaging the voice coils. Subs are designed with dual voice coils to give it more control over the cone movement. This results in better reproduction of sound. Anyway, back to wiring.
This is for a monoblock amp (you can also bridge a 2 channel amp) Go from the positive speaker out of your amp to the positive posts of both voice coils. Then go from the negative speaker out of the amp to both negative posts on the sub. And there you have it. It's called a parallel set up. Setting it up this way just dropped the ohms load for that sub to 2 ohms. Less resistance means more power to the sub. Hope this helps
check ground thats the problem when power light is on it means amp has power but a short is bein caused from a sub about to blow or a ground connection hope this helps
IS THE OUTS ON RADIO TO AMP A SUB WOOFER OUTPUT OR A REAR OUTPUT? IF YOU CANT PLAY IN MONO (IT WOULD BE A SWITHCH ON AMP}.i WOULD RECOMEND GETTIN A EQ WITH A SUB OUT . I ALWAYS WENT WITH ALPINE.THEY MAKE A GOOD EQ,ITS A MUST FOR A GOOD SOUNDING SYSTEM
It sounds like the power supply may have failed. I'm not familiar with that particular Boss amp but many amplifiers will light the power indicator even though the amp isn't operating.
Have you checked your speakers to see if they're blown?
Have you checked the wiring to make sure the speakers are still connected to the amp?
Sounds like a short circut protection on the amp kicking in. It sences the power going to the drivers and cuts itself out before damage is inflicted on the subs.
