There's power going to my amp but the power isn't going through the amp to the subs please help

Alright first suggestion is to get a different amp. Cause for one a mono amp is meant for just one signal (one speaker) also you need to make sure that you get an amp that is powerful enough to run the subs. You need to find out what the RMS of both speakers is. From just a few moments online I found a Kicker 12" Comp. subwoofer has an RMS of 50-150 watts. So you need to find a 2-Channel amp that has at least 300 but you should get one that has at least 400 just to be save. You can find a Dual 2-Channel 400W amp at Walmart for $55 and get the 600W wiring kit for $25. You should just use the inside speakers for mids and highs and allow the subwoofers to run just low frequencies. That way everything will sound correct, and not ruin your subs if the do not have a voice coil in them. It's fairly simple to set up a system with an amp and subs, you just need to make sure you have the right parts.

If it’s an active sub change you plug point and check, also try the power button on the sub by clicking it once or twice

Hello!
SO I am going to give you more of a signal layout from the turntables (or whatever you use to DJ) to the speakers.
Turn tables-> Mixer-> Eq-> Amp-> Sub and other speakers.
The part that I am not understanding is why do you need the QSC amp if you have a powered sub? The powered part of that means that there is a built in amp, which eliminates the need for the QSC amp unless you are sending that sound to main (non sub) speakers.
Hope that helps!

Is your sub in a box? the power light is on your amp? try to connect a car speaker to the port you have the sub plugged into, if the speaker works its not your speaker terminal on your amp it's the sub. Check the wiring on the connectors of the back of the sub itself and the wire terminals inside the box (if sub in bass box)
Please let me know if this was any help and let me know if it solves your problem

If the sub is new, they need to be broken in.

All sub woofers need a break in period of about 5 to 6 hours at medium volume.
The reason is because the glue needs to be cured. This is done by the heat from working.

If you are giving it too much volume too soon, you are burning the glue.

Back off the subs and only play them at medium volume for about a week.

Hello nfox1987,

First you need to determine if the amp is defective or if something else is causing it to go into protection, most often a short in the sub or amp wiring.

Disconnect the sub(s) from the speaker output terminals and the RCA inputs from the head unit, and test if the amp powers up OK. If it does, the problem is in the sub(s) wiring or voice coils, or in the RCA inputs to the amp. Reconnect each one-at-a-time to determine exactly where the short is and repair or replace the defective wiring or unit. If it doesn't power up with the inputs and sub(s) disconnected, the amp itself is most likely defective.

Hope this helps.

Power caps store power from the battery and they feed constant power to the amp so you dont get no drainage! this could be one reason..

have you bridged both subs and wat gauge wire are you using.

these amps can only handle one bridged sub at 4ohms and this amp is recommended that u use 8gauge or higher. if your running to subs i normally reccomend using 4 gauge power wire as you get more rms power feed to the amp

you can get a power cap or anyother accersory cheap online at my suppliers.. caraudiosecurity << click to enter >> hope this helps and please rate me :)

you are going to need an amp that can supply the right amount of rms power to make it sound good. these sony subs are rated for 380 watts rms. so in order to find an amp that will supply two, you must multiply that figure by two. so you will need an amp that can supply around 500 to 750 watts continuously (or rms). also you are going to want an amp that is either class d or class ab rated. these amps are built to push subwoofers exclusively and will give you the best efficiency and sound out of your subs. you will also want to get an amplifier is a monoblock amp, and not a stereo amplifier. make sure the amp can put out that rms rating at 2 ohms as two 4 ohm speakers equal 2 ohms wired in parallel. i have a kenwood kac9152d that puts out about 2000 watts max at 2 or 1 ohms (900 watts rms) that i used with my two sony xplod 10's for about 2 years. it was kick ***! now i dont know if you need that much power but they will handle it as long as you dont push them too hard for long periods of time, otherwise you might end up blowing them up! (depending on the box size that is, and the quality of it as well...)

i have years of car audio installation experience and can help with setting up and wiring any mobile entertainment system you can imagine. may i ask what kind of music you listen to and what kind of box do you have for these subwoofers?

if you have any questions email me at [email protected]

may haveto turn sub on through the stereo itself if rca cables are good.

Are you saying you connected the sony output jacks to your subs directly without any other amp? Are the sub outputs powered? Or line level? Are the subs powered or direct? need some more info please. and post the Manual here if you can. Thanks
