I can't get my LOC to work right... My amp's up and running though... not getting voltage on either RCA channel.

I double/triple checked my wiring. Looks right. I'm getting voltage on every speaker wire input. I'm using RCA as outputs and no signal coming through on the RCAs.

Should i be grounding the black wire also, I've tried grounding it and it still does not work.

I'm using a Peripheral SVEN4 LOC and a phoenix gold amp.

it sounds like a bad loc but you dont have to ground the black wire unless you have engine noise; the black wire is a ground loop isolator sorry no other advice

What type of vehicle, and is it equipped with a factory amp??? If so, where are you grabbing your signal from before of after amplifier??

To give you an idea of where I am going with this, if you do in fact have a factory amplifier, then you should be grabbing your signal after the amplifier, not before. If you do grab it before, you will get nothing.

I think the LOC is bad... I'm grabbing the signal after the factory amplifier. The weird thing is before I got the amp issues worked out, i was getting voltage from the RCAs.

How could my LOC have gone bad though?
