i installed a system on my friends 08 xb and when the power is on and the sub should be hitting its not and if you put your hand on the sub its barely vibrating at all
PLEASE HELP
i have the rca cables are hooked to the back of the stock radio on the jacks that have the W next to them and for the remote wire i have it hooked to a ignition powered wire with a switch

What was the issue? What was the fix?

and i moved the RCA cables to the F jacks rather than the W jacks

I still don't understand why the remote is wired to the ignition wire to a switch though. Now I'm wondering if I did find the remote wire, and there's just an issue with the W jacks.

ok
i said ignition powered wire
that means when the ignition is on there is power to it and when the ignition is off the power to the wire is off

and i re ran it to the gray wire and put the rca cables on the F jacks and everything is fine now

Thanks. I'll re-check mine with the F jacks. I wonder if there's just an issue with the W jacks.

I had the same issue with mine...I'm assuming you have the premium h/u. If so, turn the h/u off and then hold the menu button down...turn the eq setting to flat and turn the s/w control ON.

Once this is done, I would turn the ASL function to off. I would connect the RCA's to the W on the back or else you won't have control of the s/w.

All of this is in the manual for the h/u...there should be a separate manual just for the premium h/u.

Dude, thanks! I'm going to scream so bad at the dealership I went to. No manual for the stereo, the alarm goes off if you sneeze (literally, I'm not joking), and a few other issues. Time to get something free....

Anyway, thanks, boxful!
