Subwoofer delay

[footz67]

Ive bought another F-250 and have installed my 2 JL 10's and amp in this one but for some reason, when I start the truck, the amp powers up but I have to turn up the volume on my head unit quite a bit to get the subs to come on. Anyone have any idea why?? Also the nav arrow on my Avic D-3 is acting crazy once I swapped trucks too. Just looking for any ideas.

bad amp? or connection?

[bubbz22]

factory or aftermarket headunit? Does it have a sub output that may be turned down? Did the GAIN on the amp somehow get turned all the way down when you were swapping?

I checked all the connections, all I can think is maybe the remote wire is bad. Its an aftermarket Pionner Avic D-3. No the gain and all my amp settings stayed the same as well as my subwoofer outputs.

yea bet its a bad remote wire...or your rca to your amp is pinched...

the amp would not turn off with a bad remote wire. the remote wire would have nothing to do with the subs. check all the settings on your amp and head unit.

The amp doesnt turn off, it has power the whole time. Thats what I dont get

Might be a setting in the stereo when you switched trucks the setting you changed went back to default and now you have to find it again. I know on my stereo there is a gain for the sub you can control how much base you want and adjust it accordingly.

then you dont have the remote wire hooked up right.
