i have a kenwood kvt 514 dvd reciever with a 1000 watt kennwood amp i think its 2 ohms? i have 2 12 inch alpin type r's and everthings wired up ,i have my power cable on my driver side and my rca n remote cables on the pssengers side ,i have a big fuse, but its by my feet and the breaks ,,is that too far away from the battery?, and my main problem is in my reciver i cant turn my subwoofers on ,,theres an on and off button but its not letting me turn it on ,,on my amp its said remote and power connection,,in my deck i got everthing hooked up right i think ,,all the speakers are good ,i have the blue power coneection hook up ,,i have the remote hook up to the amp ,,but my subs wont work ?

 

where do you have your rca's for the subwoofers hooked up to? To the Subwoofer output? Sometimes they are sensetive and can tell if its hooked up wrong,(I had a clarion that would do this, and unless you hadd the rca's hooked up to the subwoofer out, it would not let me use the crossover or subwoofer control)

 

I would also verify with a volt meter at your amp that as soon as you turn on your deck the amp is receiving 12v from the remote lead.

 

do you have a ground wire connected to the amp?
you only mention a blue power and remote in your post, nothing of a ground.

 

If your Kenwood deck has both a blue wire and a blue wire with a white stripe on it, make sure you are using the blue with white stripe.

 

if the fuse is by your feet and you "think" you have the deck wired up properly you should NOT be doing work on your own car. Please go have a pro check it out for you.

 

is has a blue wire for the remote. should i just wire a wire from my battery to the blue wire with the stripe

 

Before you injure someone (yourself or a friend) or damage some of your equipment please take your car to a shop and have it checked by someone who knows what they're doing. The fact that you have the main power fuse inside the passenger cabin is wrong for several reasons......never mind the rest of the wiring issues you are having......

For safety's sake do it soon.....please.....

 

couldn't have said it better myself

 

oh................................................ .my .......................................god........ ............

1. the fuse holder must be within 3 feet of the battery......if batt in engine bay....so is the fuseholder...FIRE HAZARD!
