making box, and amp hook up?

Oh ok so hook it up to the SW slot?

Ok i hooked it up to the SW slot and started her up. Everything plays and the Amp has power, but nothing comes out of the subs. The only thing wrong I can think of was wiring the subs. Im not sure if it makes a difference. but instead of taking on wire from one sub terminal to the other than one wire going to the amp. I spliced the wires together. So in stead of doing this I did this Is that why my subs arnt working?

Sub amp sub output yes, you may then have a level control on the head unit for the level of the sub. You may want to visit your local fabric store and buy some polymesh/batting and stuff the box with it. Its been known to help in sealed enclosures.This is what I do for FUN!

Oh also could I use a slightly smaller guage speaker wire to link the sub terminals together? I ran out of 12 gauge, and only have slightly smaller guage.

Same difference man, first you need to know if your sub amp is getting signal. Whats the model number to the subs and the amp? Is the sub output on the deck enabled? Deck settings can turn it off.This is what I do for FUN!

No No NO hehe   stick with 12. Your wire is only as strong as the weakest link. If your box has terminals and 12ga is inside the box, then you can run 10ga from the box to the amp but thats one of very few exceptions.This is what I do for FUN!

The subwoofer output may need to be enabled on the deck.  And it has an adjustable level controller also.  It too may need to be turned up.   Try temporarily connecting your amp to the rear outputs.  If it plays now, the problem is the sub output of the deck.  If it does not play, there is a problem with the amp, woofer or the wiring between them. Let's Go Brandon Brown.

My amp is getting power, and on my deck I set my "subwoofer" to +4 but still no sound from the woofer. Oh ok well as long as my wire tapping is fine, I have enough wire. haha

Ok ill try that now. If it doesnt work ill take pics of my connections. maybe did something wrong

Ok i hooked it up to the R slot. And I feel the sub moving, but its so soft, its like stock output. I tried to rise the bass levels but still soft. I have no idea whats wrong
