Not saying that this is your problem, but its probably something this obvious...lol. I hope u figure it out soon tho!
Not to call either of u dumb, but this was my first thought... make sure you wired the sub!
Also I agree lose the 10gauge, I got 4 gauge runnin to my little 4 channel. Its cheap and it not very big. If you run certain gauge power, match the ground!

This is why I like troubleshooting lists. Good luck finding the other issues.

for sake of arguement change your ground wire and try a different amp, or try new rca's.

here is how it is wired now i pulled the sub out and wired it to the amp without a sub box so i could see if i could get sound at all and i upgraded the ground to 4 gauge still no sound the light is right beside the sub hook ups there it looks to me like a power light having troubles-amp-pics-002.jpg

So you have the same color power and ground wire and have stray wires protruding from the ends of the + line to short out the amp and are wondering why it does not work?

Heres another thought. Seeing as how that looks like a 4ch amp are you sure the RCAs are hooked up to the correct input? Looks like your speakers are hooked up to the rear channels. If the RCAs are hooked up to the right channel inputs that would explain the lack of sound. I know this sounds stupid, but sometimes we overlook the obvious.

no earlier in the post we thought that there is a pic of that side to its in the rear inputs i know i must be missing something but i cant find it ive checked all the wiring but it is all hooked up and all in tact maybe it is my rca cables but i was told they pulled an amp out of there so i just assumed it worked thats the only thing i could think of cause i have sound to the rest of the speakers but nothing in the subs
