here is a short test you can try, remove the rca audio cable from the amp & connect a diskman or toher audio o/p device that you can hook up with the same rca wires, turn on the amp & see if you have sound. you can also remove the speaker wires from the sub & using multi meter read the ohm's of the sub, most subs are 4 ohm. Hope this help locate your problem
You need to wire your Subs in Series. This way the current that passes through one has to pass through the other. Bridge your amp. and follow the wiring below.
hi there. ill start with the wiring. you should have a blue remote lead going to the back of your head unit, the power cable running straight from the amp to the battry, the earth should be earthed in a fairly decent place, any metal inside the car realy, and then your wires pos and neg from the amp to the subs. the reason why the kenwood might not have much base on it is to my knowledge, there should be a switch somewhere on the amp that will increase or decrease the power input for the speakers, if this is set very low then hense why theres not much base comming from them. if the amp is on and its giving something to the subs it probably isnt the wiring. try checking the amp for the switch first, if you cant find it try the pioneer amp and see if theres any diference. dont hesitate to contact me if you get stuck
u should connect at least six 12" subwoofers (preferably 1000W each) to that pioneer amp of yours. Crank it up and enjoy. Your amp shouldn't cut off now. If it does cut off, you should change the fuse on your amp to a higher ampere.
If you are using a GM-7200 amp, it should sound great. Both the amp and the subs are rated at 800 watts so be careful not to overload the bass by turning them on full power. It is good practice to have a slightly lower watt amp than the subwoofers. If you can power your rear speakers from the amp, that would take away some power to prevent the subs from overloading. Overall, you should get a nice THUMP!!
Run one set of RCA lines from
head unit to amps if you only have one set of pre-outs on the head
unit, then at the amps, use an electronic crossover to split between
the two amps, and this will also allow you to control what frequencies
go to which amps/speakers. You should use one amp for the speakers and the higher power amp for the subwoofer. You should not try to connect both to the subwoofer. Use 4gauge cables if possible. If you have more questions, just ask.
Hello Shaun123,
Phase adjust the amount of lag or lead one signal has in reference to another.
Frequency is an adjustment of the number of cycles pers second a signal will produce.
Gain refers to the amplification factor of a signal.
now in reference to you amplifier by changing phase you can set the delay of a signal (if used right you can make a wicked reverb effect), but setting phase normally will affect the tones
Frequency will affect for bass and treble functionality
Gain will both preset and provide amplitude adjustment (volume)
Take into mind these are more then likely presets.
I hope this helps
The issue you're experiencing with your Pioneer PD-M40 suggests a potential problem with the disc loading mechanism or the sensor that detects the presence of the disc cartridge. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. **Clean the Disc Cartridge and Player:**
Dust or debris on the disc cartridge or inside the player may affect proper disc loading. Remove the disc cartridge and clean both the cartridge and the player carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth.
2. **Inspect for Obstructions:**
Check for any visible obstructions inside the disc loading mechanism or around the edges of the disc cartridge slot. Ensure that there is nothing blocking the path of the cartridge as it is inserted.
3. **Check for Proper Alignment:**
Ensure that the disc cartridge is properly aligned when inserting it into the player. Misalignment may prevent the player from recognizing the presence of the cartridge.
4. **Try a Different Disc Cartridge:**
If you have access to another disc cartridge, try inserting a different one to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is specific to the cartridge or the player itself.
5. **Power Cycling:**
Turn off the player, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a minute or two. Plug it back in, power it on, and then attempt to insert the disc cartridge to see if the issue is resolved.
6. **Test with the Lid Open:**
Power on the player with the lid open and observe the disc loading mechanism as you insert the disc cartridge. Check for any unusual movements, sounds, or signs of misalignment.
7. **Lubrication:**
If the player has not been used for an extended period, lubrication on moving parts may have dried out. Consult the user manual for recommendations on proper lubrication or contact Pioneer customer support.
8. **Contact Pioneer Support:**
If the issue persists and you've exhausted the troubleshooting steps, it may be advisable to contact Pioneer customer support or seek assistance from a qualified technician. There could be an internal issue that requires professional attention.
Always refer to the user manual for your Pioneer PD-M40 for model-specific instructions and recommendations. If you don't have the manual, you may be able to find it on the Pioneer website or by contacting their customer support.
Question edited for clarity.

My research shows it just needs a standard RCA lead to connect. However you realize this is just a standalone CD player and needs an amplifier as well as speakers? It has no amplification of its own, it just puts out an audio signal.
When connected to a Pioneer System Audio Amplifier, the control cables allow you to control the CD Player from the Amplifier remote control as they cable connect to that amplifier. The Line Out connections are for the RCA cable and supply the audio data to the amp.

You just have one small part of a composite audio system.
Regarding speakers, most are 8 ohm. you can spend $50 used or $60,000 for Bowers and Wilkins Nautilus. I have a pair of Wharfedale Linton speakers that I bought from the UK factory that you can have for $450 CDN :>) Top of the range.

The answer lies in the 'year make model' and the only clue you give us is 'truck', so here you go. This website lists them all. One problem with modern vehicles is that the Body Control Modules monitors the stereo because it does other features, like giving warning sounds via the speakers. Playing with wires is not wise because the BCM uses a 5 volt computer network to relay data and it sounds like you may have given it 12 volts?
