Default Headunit install, speakers work not bass

Hi all.

So i installed my new kenwood radio last night along with the Pac Audio ROEM-VET1. I have all 4 high speakers but there is just no bass, sounds like the subs aren't on at all.

I am terrible when it comes to audio stuff but what i do know is the radio is "on" for a sub and i have adjusted the sub volume with no luck.

I have no adjusted the 4 gain controls on the PAC device, do i need to?

I assume the amp signal is working since the speakers work or am i mistaken?

Forgot to mention this is a C5 z06 with bose.

Thanks in advance!
Mike

how did you wire the pac roem-vet1 for the amp turn on wire?
the blue white from the radio goes to the blue on th epac roem-vet1
This is a Kenwood 6160 harness and the top wire will show th eblue white from the Kenwood(look close and you can make this out) to the blue of the pac roem-vet1

I just checked the wiring diagram and it says the blue/white is the amp signal and the blue is for power antenna on the pac. Is this incorrect from pac?
