Hey - Ok .. I looked for other threads like this ... but couldn't find anything bang on. I have tried turning the woofer "off" and to "8 inch" and everything, like some people have mentioned in other threads, but I still can't get ANYTHING out of the woofer. I picked the car up on Thursday and the service guy said that everything was fine .. i mentioned that i was hearing anything from the woofer, and he said he checked it. Obviously he didn't. I checked the fuse and it seems fine ... Does anyone have any advice on what the *#@& is up with this?!?!?
No sound from woofer

Hey Meghan I just picked up my mps last week and I have the same problem as you about the sub and amp. The is no power going to the amp... I spoke w/ the service manager and he played around with it, tried the NF button but still nothing. ultimately they are now ordering me a whole new back unit. my advice is to speak w/ the service manager from where you got the car, and stand with him while he's checking your system.
Servoeyes ... Alright - here's the deal: I went to teh dealership today and had them check everything out - the amp had power, but i wasn't getting anything outta the sub. They opened all the plastic s*** up and found that the wiring isn't connecting. There is power to the amp, and the main wire is fine, but the smaller wires might be broken. (apparently) ANyw3ay - they "fixed" it and after 4 songs i changed the C.D. and *POOF* the sub stopped working!!! Grrrrrrrrr. The service manager said he would give me the 2003.5 to drive while they fixed it ... so I'm not going to complain at all. They are ordering in everything new for me ... God I Love these guys - so nice being a chick! Anyway - that's the scoop for now - until then, if you have any advice, I appreciate all of it. I am still getting used to the car - and although i don't think it has enough pick-up i LOVE it! Such a sweet little car! Take it easy ....

Remember to check both fuses when the sub stops. There's one on the battery cable and under the amp between the amp and the sub. When I got my sub changed out I kept blowing the 15 amp fuse that was in there, so I switched to a 20 amp and no problems since.
Cool...I'm glad that they're handling it for you. That Kenwood sub and the enclosure are bother real pieces of crappola! i have my sub sitting in my room holding change...because the cone detached from the surround. That was *after* I had the whole damn thing replaced. Now the amp is attached to a box housing a JL8w0 for my ex girlfriend. The setup will look/sound 100x better than the stock MSP stuff. Which means what I have now, sounds about 100,000x better.Meghan said:

yeah i kinda figured that. i'm gonna do it thursday. actually it worked the other day but then it stopped. theres gotta be a loose connection or something cuz it turns on then cuts out. pretty annoying i must say.

Had the same problem with the sub and amp, amp had power but nothing from the sub. They had to order a whole new head unit first becuz it kept shutting it self off and freezing mid rotation. Now they ordered a the sub and amp, 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting on them to call me...sometimes things take longer then I ever wish.

Id rather threadjack than start another subwoofer thread....so does anyone know where the other 15 amp fuse is for the stereo aside from the one on the battery cable? I think that I have heard it is under the amp but I am not sure. thanks
