If you have a Kenwood KDC-X500 car stereo unit and are experiencing no sound coming out of your subwoofers despite having power from the head unit to the amp and from the amp to the subwoofer, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:
1. Check the Connections: Double-check all the connections between the head unit, the amp, and the subwoofer to ensure they are securely connected and properly set up. Make sure that the RCA cables are connected correctly and that there are no loose or damaged connections.
2. Adjust the Settings: Check the audio settings on your Kenwood KDC-X500 head unit to ensure that the subwoofer output is enabled and that the crossover frequency and level settings are configured correctly for your setup.
3. Test the Subwoofer: If possible, test the subwoofer with another audio source to verify that the subwoofer itself is functioning properly. This will help you determine if the issue lies with the subwoofer or the connections.
4. Check the Amp: Ensure that the amplifier is receiving power and that all the settings on the amp are configured correctly. If the amp has a protection mode or any other indicator lights, check to see if there are any warnings or issues indicated.
5. Inspect the Fuse: Check the fuse on the amp to make sure it has not blown. A blown fuse could be preventing power from reaching the subwoofer. 6. Consult the User Manual*: Refer to the user manual for the Kenwood KDC-X500, the amp, and the subwoofer for specific troubleshooting tips and setup instructions.
If after going through these steps the issue persists, it may be best to consult with a car audio professional or technician for further assistance. They can provide a more in-depth diagnosis of the problem and help you get your subwoofers working properly again.

There are a number of possible causes for a subwoofer that isn't producing any sound. To assist you in locating and fixing the issue, consider the following troubleshooting guide:
Verify the Power Connection: Make sure the subwoofer is switched on and correctly plugged into a power outlet. Power wires can unintentionally unplug or become loose from time to time.
Verify Signal Connection: Inspect the speaker wire or RCA audio signal cable that connects the subwoofer to the audio source (such as an amplifier or receiver). Verify that the wire is firmly attached to the audio source's output and the subwoofer's input.
Modify the Settings and Volume: Verify the subwoofer's and the audio source's settings and volume. Make sure the volume on the subwoofer is turned on.
