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

More pics

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

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
