Need some help!
i have a kenwood ddx712 headunit, amped door speakers and a 1000 watt ma audio amp powering two kicker subs.
My problem is i had a cheap amp and subs in before and put them in my girlfirneds truck, i bought the new ma audio amp and subs off line and hooked them up EXACTLY like my old ones were and they dont work, amp has power, green light is on not red. the gain is all the way up and the bass control on the head unit is all the way up also and the subs are just brley moving. every now and agian you could hear them kick on but nnnnnooooooo where near how they should.
Can anyone help?

Do you have a DMM? Set the DMM for VAC (volts AC) and meter the speaker outputs. If you have input and power, then they should have more than 30v.
How do you have the speakers hooked up? All positives together or positive to negative. How does your manual say to hook up the speakers, ie bridged, lowest impedance, two pair of outputs?

Better yet unplug the amp speaker wires from the box and tell us what your Ohm reading is from the terminal cups.
Also helpful is model subs and amp.
