i got the cables, but i cant do the install till next weekend, i have to swap out the harness for the head unit, get the new kit installed, install the battery, install the subs/amp, carpet the amp board, mount, ground the amp and clean my car... itll be a nice project lol

the cables that were hooked up tested out okay... idk what it could have been, the headunit is sending signal to the sub from the sub out (i tested with the multimeter, and the signal fluctuates from about .5-.6 and so on, so its signal)
any ideas?
bad amp rca in?

Did you test before and after the RCA's (at the head unit and then at the end of the cables)
I think Emp said to do this once but anyway get a 3.5mm to RCA cable and plug your MP3 player into the RCA's on the amp, if the problem is still there then its the amp if not then its before the amp either cables or HU itself

okay well i took spuns advice and bought a mp3 adapter
first of all i ran the new cords after i tested the output from the headunit, which was varying, which is signal, so i ran it, and i hook it up... nothing...
the rca reds .019 and stays there
i hook up the mp3 adapter thinking, its the amp, and boom i get bass, and loud bass cuz i had my ipod all the way up...
i reconnect the rca from head unit, nothing
what am i missing?

rcas shouldnt be reading .0___ more like .6
Your testing voltage AC and most hus are rated for 2v+ PEAK so you should get at the bare miniumum .5 with it cranked. You really just need to try it with low power and get .1 or .2 then crank it and get triple or whatever.
Did you test the mp3 unit at the amp or at the HU side of the rcas
