Model: 1991 EB with premium audio system (e.g., stock has a subwoofer in back and two stock amps).

I just installed the main amp by-pass and the four door speakers now run fine from the Kenwood head unit.

I also checked to see if the subwoofer was getting power and checked the ground wire to the amp; both are fine. As the only non power related wires into the subwoofer amp originally come directly from the main amp which now has been removed, I cut the sound feed wires into the subwoofer amp and have tried every combination of feed from the head unit RCA jacks imaginable (there are three RCA outputs - I tried all three).

I suppose it could be the head unit but I've had it since new and I suspect that the subwoofer is the more likely culprit.

Is there a way to rig a digital multimeter to test to see if the amp is working?
