Yes that looks perfect.
Do anybody know what I should measure on the pins of the connector of the C2993B? What volatage should I have? Is that a voltage?

the 1st thing you need to do is check for 3 things on the amps 12volts, ground and the 5volts for turn on. with the key off check the pins on the connectors for the 12volts and thegrounds. then turn on the radio and check for the 5volts. if i had to guess i would guess one of these is missing off both amps. you said you check the fuses and the back amps workso i would think its a bad wire run to the amps.

Ok guys,

Weekend is over [:@] and I had some time to start measuring the subwoofers .
I think I've discovered the problem but the problem now is that it's the most expensive part of my sound system (my shaker1000)

I measured first the +12V, ground and mute at the amplifier and that was all ok.
Then I took a 12V DC power supply and tested my subwoofers. These were also working. So the only 2 problems that were remaining were:
- Bad wire from my radio to the amplifier
- No signal on my Shaker

I took another speaker and connected this on the + and - from my Shaker1000. When I started then the radio system I had no sound on this speaker. Same problem with running the speaker loop test.

Does somebody know a easy solution for this? Did I forgot something?

Hmmm, 2 problems
My car is from 2005, so I don't think that this is still waranty.
Second problem is: I'm located in Belgium, we don't have US Ford Dealer. I had to import my stang myself. (We only have the european ford dealerships, escort, fiesta, mondeo, ....)

If I'm sure that it's under waranty the I can check if I can send it to somebody in US to replace it.
How can I check if I still have waranty on it?

I had the Shaker 500 in my 06 GT from the factory that I replaced with a Pioneer headunit. I replaced the entire sound system including all speakers, wiring, ampsand the subs in the door. If you find out that my amps and subs (from the door) are the same as yours and you want to work something out, PM me. My system was in perfect working order with very little use when I took it out. -Joe

Well the problem is that my speakers are working fine. The problem is that my Shaker1000 is not working as it should.
Thx for suggesting

That is a small problem....the car is 3 yr 36 k miles so its probably under warranty still, but i would just ditch the shaker HU altogether and go aftermarket....much better choice

Yeah I was already thinking of dumping of that shaker but yeah...
If it still under waranty then I can replace it for free . The problem is now finding a dealership in Europe that is wanting me to replace that shaker.

Thanks for the help so far.
