Pickup installation woes

[Gunner Recall]

As per my humbucker thread in Gear, I got some new humbuckers for my toronado (along with triple shot switching mounting rings).

I hooked everything up for the neck pup but there seems to be severely low output. Clean I can't even hear anything.
If I hit it hard with a distortion/fuzz (going above unity) I get a signal but the sound actually comes out clean

Some light reading if anyone can help:

oh and I'm installing a dimarzio humbucker, so the color codes are different from SD (I'm actually about to go double check I didn't mix any of those up)

I'm a total DIY noob, I'm just starting to experiment with breadboards and I've done 1 other pickup swap (on a single humbucker/single vol guitar, that was a cakewalk).

After triple checking everything with the multimeter and re-doing the soldering a few times it appears the problem was with the triple shots themselves...
I wired it up without the extra switching and it works fine. No split coils for the neck pos (at least for now)

Now I just need to wait for dimarzio to drill/tap my crunchlab and I can try the other triple shot to see if the first was defective
What a fucking nightmare.

Hmmmm those triple shot rings are a very cool idea... What's the output of the pickups? I split humbuckers before and the only time I had the problem you are having was when the buckers themselves had low output and didn't like being out of phase... But it could be the triple shot...

The neck is a dimarzio liquifire, 10.75k/300
The switches didn't seem to do anything when I had it hooked up, so I'm pretty sure they were just flat out not working.

They really are a great idea for somebody who doesnt want to fuss with push/pull pots, and the switches feel pretty solid and are in an easy to reach (but enough out of the way) spot.
Hopefully I can get the other one working, it will probably be more useful in the hotter bridge pup anyway.

....it will probably be more useful in the hotter bridge pup anyway.

AGREE I have a Duncan hot rails 15k in the bridge of my tele and when I split it sounds very similar to a standard PAF which makes me all giggly inside.... But still you want to get what you freaking paid for....!!
