gotta say, these are some pretty ghetto setups and will eventually lead to problems, nice pics tho

I switched the wires from the right sub to left and then it worked, PHEW, the sub is ok. but then why isn't the sound working?!
I thought maybe it would be an issue of the +/- but nope, flipping the left channel +/- wires does nothing.... so maybe the left channel outs are broken on my amp! "oh no!" im thinking, but then i did a bridge from the + (left) to the - (right) and that worked, so that leads me to think that the left channel is ok, unless specifically the - (left) is broken...
please advise on this issue as i would like to be able to use both subs!?
thanx!
** one thing i noticed and you should probably know was that when i plugged in the left + and right - to bridge, the bass did not hit as hard as when i just used the right channel to power one sub alone... so maybe the left terminal is fu*ked!?
right now im just running the right sub off of the right channel and disconnected the other wires. is this ok?

a few things, your radio controls your amp settings because your are using a line out converter. therefore w/e signals your sending to your REAR speakers adjusting bass/trebel, your amp is recieving the same signal. if your amp had built in line connections i dont think this would be a problem, it wasnt for my kia a few years back.
also that loud thump thing your getting is either from the way your remote is connected and definately from an improper ground, you are hearing the power being thrown around to your speakers. next time your listening to the radio as your car is on, shutoff the car withoout opening the doors, put on the radio and see it if continues, if so just open the door the radio should shut off. if the sound goes away you have a bad remote, if it continues you have a bad ground.
as for your amp i think you have a dead channel, lightning audio and boss audio and all these brands are real shoddy quality and burn up from bad ground real easily
good luck with your install, i wish i had some pics for you, but my fg1 has the stock everything in it and all my input is from my previous cars and friends cars just dont want you to take it the wrong way
