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

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.

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.

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

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
