yeah they met at the amp, I was moving my box when I was vacuming my car, with the car power on, I had the radio on at the time the ground came out and and fell on the power wire. If it is the amp that would nake sense as to why its not hitting as hard as with the other radio because I have all thesettings on the radio set where they were on the old radio. My guess is I probably messed my amp up then.

Does your new Hu have the same output voltage as the old one? If you went from a HU with 4v pre-outs to 2v pre-outs, it will be quieter.

no, they both have 2v pre-outs, I checked the specs of my old pioneer deh-p5200, and the 6500mp is 2v too. I think my amp is just toast. the amp is an old mtx rt2120. pretty nice amp it was for $150 new 4-5 years ago. Ill just have to find a good used 1 until I get the money for the system I really want. For some reason before I had all these problems my system before was a lot louder than it should have been. I have the mtx amp and 2 10" kenwood tornados, the old blue ones, and it was so much louder than my brothers 12" alpines, with sony explode amp. oh well, thanks for all the help everyone

I think I figured it out, there is something wrong with the amp, the amp has to hook ups for subs, on the one side the negative is broken, the subs arn't as loud because only 1 was working, and the other side of the amp is the 1 pulsating, so there is deffinately a problem with the amp. so looks like I am buying a new one
