I have a 97 Jeep TJ with 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers along with a speaker box that holds two 10 subwoofers. I have 2 sets of RCA cables running from the back of the head unit to a 4 channel amp. This correctly produces sound from all front and rear speakers. I have a 3rd set of RCA cables running from the back of the head unit (labeled "bus" connection on back of unit) to a separate amp for the subs (input connections on sub). Subs are connected to amp with 10 guage wire, but produce no sound. This has to be a wiring issue, but not sure what. Do I have the RCA's in the wrong connectors on head unit? On amp?
The bus connection is actually not an RCA looks very, similar i think if you look at it it will say IN. as far as i remember its an input for like a CD changer. Run a Y splitter on one of the other RCA out put, split the signal and run one to your bass amp. it does not affect the voltage in the RCA signal. i think your amp is trying to send a signal instead of receiving one.
SOURCE: subs not responding to Sony CDX-GT500
you cna switch the working rca's to the sub out put to check for sound if u get sound it means your rca's are bad but if no sound then your other outputs in your radio may be deffective
