I have a 10" kicker compVR with a sony 480watt amp. I had the same setup with a kenwood stereo and it worked great, now I am using my factory radio with this setup and whenever I turn the volume up the amp goes into protection. It will even go into protection with the speaker disconnected. Everything seems to be hooked up right. I tapped into my rear speakers to run an RCA (same thing my friend did and his works great). Could it be this RCA cable that is causing it? or something else? What else could I do to fix this? Thanks for any help in advance.

Let me see if i got this straight you went from rear speakers to rca cable to amp?
No in line converter?
I am guess you are using a line converter..........
TURN DOWN YOUR LINE CONVERTER (looks like little set screws for left and right channel), and ground your line converter, then check ground to amp. Make sure you didn't twist one + & - together on the line converter. If all that doesn't work unplug one RCA plug at a time, and see if your subs hit.
More & all known info will help.

Yes, I do have a converter. I re-wired the converter and turned the bass down on the radio, I had the bass turned up at the radio, and turned up the gain at the amp a little (it was all the way down). I seems to pe working fine now. Thanks for the help.
