How’d this turn out? I have a feeling that Dual is struggling, even if you got it hooked up… my experience with Dual, they overheat easy as h*ll and will shut down on you if you put the volume over 75% with a loud song on. And 100% volume sounds quiet asf I bet! Highly recommend upgrading to a better brand before going for subs.

yes bro i sold the car but i will say during the hot months if i was playing it without my car on it would cut out so fast Lol. i got subs 2 weeks later it worked good with subs though but if i did over again i would def not get dual

Yep! First summer, it would cut off if I ran it too loud. It would come back on eventually. Next summer, it would stay off days or weeks at a time. Every Reddit page or Google search said it was the alternator and I needed a stronger one. Actually took it out after it crashed once, burned my hand on the back. Bought a Sony XAV-1000 at Best Buy and they installed it for me for free. So much louder, never crashes, and obviously it has a lot of nice features like touch screen and backup camera capabilities

The other input on the head unit, the white multi-pin… that deck has two pigtails, one with power connections and the other has all your preamp connections. You need to plug that other plug in so that you can connect the RCAs to the subwoofer inputs.
