Amp + sub help!!! PICS ADDED

I've recently bought 2 10inch Rampage subs and a Clarion APX1301 monoblock AMP, Now... The amp was installed all good, power cable, earthing, Remote turn on and RCA cables ETC...
HOWEVER i got ye old speaker cable out hooked up 2 subs like you should, rechecked everything but the EFFING subs are not working.
I DO know that the subs are not blown as before installation they were used with the surround sound in my room.
So is there any way the speaker cable or bloody anything would be holding them back from working, I can supply pics of the setup if anyone would like them to help me out.
I also thought there might be some gay problem with the RCA OUTPUT from the back of the headdeck as insted of the plain ol rca output it has 'Rear out, Front out' and Sub W out' but im just thinking out loud here.
any help would be greatly appreciated
CHEERS!!!!

Yer show us some pics, and we will see if anything stands out.
And am i right in assuming youve got the monoblock hooked up to Sub W Out?

If you have the RCAs hooked up to the "sub out" on the headunit (like you should) then theres a good chance you will have to turn on the sub channel on the headunit. At least thats the way it is on my Pioneer unit.
What headunit are you running?

Does the power light on the amp turn on?

Yeah RCA is plugged into SubW out and the Sub is turned on through the head unit, and yeah the amp light is on, i tested every lead on the amp individually to see what it could be, no light without ground.. obviously, no light without remote turn on or power lead, so there all in, the lights on, so its something to do with the in and out of the audio

hey mate, could anything be touching each other to make it short? Usually shorting makes the subs cut out on and off, however it might be worth a check

check your crossovers on the amp, might have the high pass on instead of the low pass

Ive checked and re-checked the X-over, and as to anywires touching, when i was installing it all i double checked all the wirings when i finshed for anything like that, so im stumped, ill hook up photos of the entire set up 2moro for a bit more of an insider

Check to make sure the speaker wiring is properly connected to the subs (sometimes they can come undone inside the box).

I would try connecting the RCAs to either the front or rear outputs on the head-unit, may be also worthwhile to try another set of RCAs?

I was going to suggest the wires in the sub box as well.

Then it wouldn't hurt to try hooking up any old speaker you have lying around and seeing if that works
