lol, I guess I deserve that. Yes I have checked the bass setting, it is all the way up and I have it set to Theatre Setting. I also used the INPALOAD app to test the sound and it is dead silent when testing the subwoofers.

I hate to say it, but there could be a problem with your amp/tuner.

OK, I can eliminate a blown speaker or incorrect EQ settings. I removed one of the subs and connected it to a different sound source and it works perfectly. I looked at the amplifier connections and everything is intact. Is there is a different connection for the subs? Could the amp be faulty affecting only the subwoofer output. Any help would be appreciated........

I would agree with the wiring if it only happened to one sub, but what atre the odds that all three subs are wired incorrectly? The OP stated that the wiring looks good at the source. Maybe he could ohm them out for continuity to the correct location and then embrace himself for a new amp, if the wiring checks out.
