Hi,
I recently acquired a new car but the sub and front speakers are not working. It has a Pioneer headunit which I swapped with Pioneer from my other car with same results. The rear 6x9s are coming straight off the head unit and they work fine. The front splits and Pioneer sub come off a BOSS 4ch amp. The amp is getting power (the fan and lights work when the HU is on) but no sound. The VU meter doesn't move. I have checked the leads from the HU to the amp and one of those seems dodgy (O/C) but doesn't really explain why I get nothing out of it at all. I am suspecting the amp, but don't want to replace it unless I have to. It looks like a pretty flash unit.
Any suggestions on how I can narrow down the root of the problem?
