That seems to be the issue. I did go out and buy some RCA's with live ends from Radio Shack but before I install those...maybe not needed any more. I spliced one of the connections to the amp and cross the wires. Fired right up with more power than just a single connection. I guess I'll have to decide whether or not I want to rewire the mess again or leave the hack job I originally did.

Thanks, Essam, I've read many of your posts for help, you're a great contributer

I'll also reach out to others who have this set up for their settings as well....for the best sound. I hate 'huge' bass that draws attention...I just want to capture lows to make the music more lively.
