Sony xplode 1000w amp has green light puts out no power to subs

I hooked up my subs as i was told to and as the directions say and they don't work i have power to the amp and the light is green but there isn't any power going to my subs and i hooked up a smaller speaker and that still didn't do any thing. Do i have a bad amp? is some thing not hooked up right or is it my radio witch also is a sony xplode radio. so please help me hook these things up.

    I too have the same problem. Except I noticed that I had 12.74 volts at the amp and when the remote switch turns it on the voltage drops to 4.337 volts. All my connections are tight and after I ohmed the power supply and ground wire I had less than 1 ohm of resistance. This is a new amp as well. Thank you so much

    Have you checked your RCA cables? I had this problem it turned out one of the RCA cables was bad and it caused me to lose all sound from subs. You can buy gold plated home RCA's for 1/2 the cost of car audio dealers and get the same quality...

Check the speaker, the subs. i had same problem, same reading on volt, its correct as way it should be. if its not the rca plug then it has to be speaker, i replaced the amp and it wasnt that, it was the speakers after all...

I hooked up 1 10" type r to my 600w sony xplode

How many ohms is the speaker? You have the amp bridged going into the sub? You have the negative of one side hooked up to the negative and the positive on the other side hooked up to the positive?

It says that it is bridgable at 4 ohms. What about the input? Set your stereo about half way up. Then turn your amps gain up slowly until it is where you want to listen to it normally. Not to loud. Then when you turn it up it isn't too much.

But it sounds like you have way too much power for one speaker. Especially a ten. It takes two tens to equal one 12.

1000 w sony xplode works at low volume then red lights at volume5

Most likely one of your subs are blown, or the Ohm's are too low for the ampliphier. Try hooking up one speaker at a time to the amp and see if it does the same thing. If it shuts off on one of the two speakers, that speaker is most likely blown.

Sony xplode cd player sub problems

Switch your blue wires around.

You have put the remote antenna wire to the remote turn on of the amplifier. The radio cuts off the power to the "power antenna" when you switch to a different mode... so your amplifier is now losing the turn on signal it requires to stay on.

Simple 2 minute fix.

Make sure you don't have a short circuit somewhere. Make sure the wiring is all intact.

1000w Sony Xplode car amp

Sounds like the power supply is shutting down because of it sensing a bad output channel. I'm assuming of course that you have checked all your battery, ground, and trigger wires to see if they are OK. Good luck.

Speakers cut off when bass goes up...

it might be that your wires from your amp to your subs are too thin. since they were relatively new the first three months, they were probably undamaged, but after pushing them too much, they probably have broken wires, and can't get enough power to the subs when turned up, i suggest getting thicker wires before investing in a capacitor, it could save you money.
