i just got a pioneer 3300t amp and a pioneer sub..i just want a very small amount of bass...and for some reason the amp doesnt seem to be working. i know the sub and wires to the sub are fine. the sub gets power and it comes on but the power light flashes and i dont think it is suppose to. i think its suppose to be a constant on. im not getting anything out of the sub at all either. what could the problem be?

oh, could the amp turn on wire be too small? its pretty small, not tiny but small and i was thinking maybe it needs a larger wire. could that be it?

 

Check all connections. youre probably missing a good ground on the amp.
remote wires are about the size of headphone wires and that is how they should be.
it is likely you did burn the amp out,extensive use or just pioneer quality, but its hard to tell.

 

im not sure, its a brand new amp so it better not be dead. maybe ill take it to a shop and see if they can tell if its even any good before i screw with it more...

 

Disconnect the rca inputs as well as teh speaker outputs at the amp and tell me what happens..... No need fer a shop yet.

Can you explain how you did your wiring?

 

turns out it was just the ground. i had it down really good but i guess the amp didnt like it. so i crimped a hook on the end and bolted it down and now everythings good. thanks for all the help.
