I have built a hypex ucd400st amp to power my 4 ohm passive subwoofer. I ran the line out from my PC soundcard to the rca input on the ucd400 amp. Slowly increased the play volume control on my PC. It worked fine.
However when i connect the ucd400 amp to my pioneer 1015 receiver's sub preout. I got no sound at all. I also tried connecting it through behringer feedback destroyer and still no sound at all. The same sub worked when i hooked it up thru the PC.
I followed the manual closely when building the sub. I have made one change though. I have connected the ON pin (the one that is together with signal cable) to supply ground directly instead of having a switch. Would this be a problem ?

I have tested the UCD400 again.
This time I connected the UCD400 amp to the left preout of my pioneer vsx1015 receiver and a 8ohm speaker to the UCD400 speaker out terminals to it to see if the amp works. With this i can hear the amp play well. Then i connected the UCD400 speaker out to the 4 ohm passive subwoofer with the left preout from the receiver still connected to the UCD400. This time i can feel the cone vibrating but the sound is not loud enough. I do not have any volume control on my UCD400.
The passive subwoofer is tested to be working fine when i connect it directly to the speaker out of my receiver.
Do i not have enough gain ? Or is there something to do with input impedance ?
I really need help.
