My Sub Got Disconnected - How To Reconnect?

[Spunky Munky]

Hi guys, need your help on this one I'm sure IRS simple if I know how. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to audio stuff do need your help.

I brought my car to a mechanic recently and the had to fix a few things and when I got it back my sub was disconnected for some reason.

I managed to reconnect my amp for my speakers no problems but my sub has been disconnected so not too sure how to reconnect.

Pics of wiring attached. Please help me guys.

Cheers

More pics

So I got two amps - one for speakers and one for sub. The sub amp is mounted on the sub box. Connections from the amp is connected to the amp but there still two thick wires not connected to anything and sub has ceased to work??

The 2 in your very first pic will be +12v (red) and ground (black). Each sub will need its own pair of them.

I can do the ground easy but where do I connect the red positive seeing the sub already has two +/- going from it to the amp? Please help further.

Ops, sorry each amp needs its own pair

[Spunky Munky]

Yes but where to connect positive and earth wires?

[Cadmoon]

There should be terminals on the amps, like in the 3rd pic of your second post.

Not being smart, but if you can't work out where to connect the two power cables to your amp; you'd be better off going to your local Car Stereo emporium, and getting them to do it.

They wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to do it; and would likely do it for nothing, as a gesture of goodwill.

It would be better than blowing something up.

Yeah I might do that! Lol

from the amp the earth cable needs to connect to a ground on the car (like a seatbelt bolt), and the red power cable needs to connect to the battery or distribution block that goes to the battery

see the first pic on your 2nd post that little plastic box with the digital readout. power wire will most likely go there which connects to your battery
