Have you tried checking the coil within the subwoofer & testing it. I had a JLw3 that would not work and I found that one of the terminals had a cut leading to the coil which explained why it was not thumping.

that something you can check visually? i have the sub in my lap right now and cant see anything out of place.

I have that very sub in my lap as well and you can see the positive and negative terminals on both sides connected to the coil

Check the input mode switch on the amp.

Grab a different speaker to test with

Use all positives together, and all negatives together: both woofer "+" to the + on the amp,
Both "-" to the amps negative, does not matter which one on the amp (single channel for bass, no bridging)

question: its a 5 channel, but since im only having the sub right now i have it on 2 channel. is that incorrect?

[IminDiegoTriick]

check resistance on the terminals with a voltameter as well maybe.

[jasonsnoddy]

yup, apparently it was supposed to be on the 5 channel.

thanks guys. i feel st00pid.
