[QUOTE="PRIVATEpastry, post: 6753517, member: 562003"] I've had the same setup in my ride for about 2 years now and about a week ago the sub stopped working. It would stop playing for a minute, then play again, then stop...etc (all while I am driving - bumpy ride). I checked the amp and it isn't the power/ground or fuses because the power light is on the whole time and the protect light is off. I then re-checked the speaker wiring and that was fine. I moved on to the RCA's - I replaced the RCA cables and the same thing was happening. When I wiggle the rca plugs on the amp the sub will start playing again for a bit. This leads me to believe that the RCA jacks are bad on the amp, so I opened up the amp and looked around. I'm not experienced at all in amp repair, but I didn't see any obvious signs of loose connectors or anything by the RCA jacks. So I guess the question is - would it be easy to repair the jacks, or would it be best to take it to a repair shop? P.S. The amp is a Directed 1100D [/QUOTE]
