I ran a subwoofer and amp and the installer used a Line out converter, tapped into the factory sub to get a signal but I removed my system and connected the 2 wires that he cut ,but when I reconnect back the sub speaker wires "black/white" it's like the sub barely moves there is power just not that boom I once had l, can anyone help me thank


Maybe is the subwoofer went bad? Worked flawless before the LOC

 

Anyone?

 

 

Here's a picture bro I reconnected back the wires that was cut black connected with black and white with white

 

What did you connect them together with? Solder? Crimp? It looks like you hand-twisted them together and placed a piece of electrical tape over the top which isn't going to work because it's just hopes and dreams holding those wires together.

 

I made sure and twisted them properly not poorly ,equal cuts and twisted good

 

 

What I'm saying though is you need to have your wires MECHANICALLY fastened together, either with solder, a crimp, heck even a wirenut if that's all you have. A twisted connection like that is NEVER going to hold trust me. Stranded wire unravels almost immediately, it won't matter if you have it taped there needs to be somethings physically mating the wire together.

 

 

Lol no it won't, I do this for a living, I give it a month or two MAX, in worst case it might only hold a week. You need something to BOND the circuit or you will have either very high resistance or very low surface area. One will give a poor/weak signal, the other will generate excess heat.

 

So I got the sub to play but it doesn't sound the same ,compare to when it wasn't cut I'll take your advice and have it solder

 

 

 

I hear the sub sounds good at low volume but when I raise the volume higher doesn't sound as deep off a bass it once had maybe it's the connection? It needs to be solder by the way my radio is a pioneer 490BS
