    Hi fellow drivers,

    hope this is the right thread.

    I have a 2017 KW T680 with the stock BT stereo system but for some reason the subwoofer under the bunk is not working.

    I checked the fuses under the bunk, I checked the fuse of the amp located in the subwoofer box, but I can't find the problem.

    Any ideas??

    How are the fuses on the head-unit?
    Is your unit all stock? I ask because aftermarket sound quality (speakers / sub) suffers, usually, with a stock head-unit.

    I was thinking you were putting a jam up system in your truck when I saw the title.

    It's the stock kenworth radio. Where would I find the fuse for that

    Most modern, after-market, head units have fuses in the back. Some of the stocks do as well, but many do not because.... Well, they're cheap and are meant to deal with 4ohm, 25 watt speakers (not much of a power draw there).

    Examples:
    This is a Clarion stock unit - remove the face plate and all you see is the circuit board, no ancillary fuses WP_20161020_18_56_56_Pro.jpg

    This is a Dual after market. See the 10 amp by my thumb?
    The more power a unit is projected to take the more fuses it will likely have.
