yes im sure. but i will triple check later

 

Long shot, but might also check head unit setup. Some JVC units, for example, can be configured to run a sub off of RCA's and mids and highs off of built in amp. As such, they have a high pass filter setting for the front speakers.

If you have a DVM, and can access the back of the radio, you can check resistance on the speaker leads...if you don't see the impedance of the speakers, you have a crossover or bass blocker somewhere.

its a sony, and it has a sub setting and sub-out plugs that what i have the sub plugged into. i looked everywhere in every setting i could find to see if the head unit was doing somthing, but there are no settings for just the front or just the back speakers anywhere i could find,except the fade, which i changed all the way front and nothing. i even changed it to some differant preset audio settings (pop, jazz, rap, club, xplode..e.ct) and all of them gave the same problem.

is there somthing that i can measure (i have a multimeter, not sure if that helps) on the speaker leads comming out of the stereo that will tell me if its not putting out the bass? or just hook a speaker directly to it and see what happens? it also has rca plugs for front and back, if i get the prob from the regular wires comming out of the back ill try the RCAs too.

thanx for helpin out everyone.

 

try hooking your speaker right to the back of the deck. If the cone moves then, you need to remove whatever crossover is in there someplace. Or you can hook an O-Scope up to the speakers leads and verify there is no bass coming to them.
