I have the Pioneer DEH-P7600MP and there's a separate output for a subwoofer. This output cable is not RCA but a single jack (like a male headphone jack). Anyway my dad somehow made an adapter so that jack could plug into the RCA plug of my [custom] subwoofer. Keep in mind this subwoofer was working fine. He also tested all the components (beyond the HU) to make sure they were getting power.
My problem is I don't know why it doesn't work after I got this new headunit. In the HU's settings, there's:
PREOUT: S/W
PREOUT: FULL
REAR SP: S/W
REAR SP: FULL
I can't seem to figure out how (which combination) to get a signal to the woofer. I've tried all of them. Maybe it's not even one of these settings but the manual suggests it is. One thing I am sure of is that when REAR SP: S/W, the 2 rear speakers produce no music, just the thump of a woofer. I don't want that... obviously that's what my custom subwoofer is for. I don't know what a PREOUT is but I'm assuming that's what controls it... and I can't get it to work. What am I missing ?
