On friday, I was driving around, when my sub completely cut out randomly. I wasn't sure what happened, and I was too busy until today to get around to actually testing it out. I realized that one of my wires for my line-level RCA converter had come loose (I still have my stock headunit), but I'm not sure if that would affect anything.
I thought maybe a fuse was blown, but I realized that all the fuses are fine, the amp has power, and it's putting out (a tiny amount of) voltage to the speaker outputs. I called Cadence (it's a ZRS-9) and they said they had no idea, and to send it in to them. I don't really want to go sending my amp anywhre, if it's an issue that could be resolved without it.
Anyways, the RCA converter is fine, and plays a signal when hooked up to my friend's amp, but when I plug it into my amp, the voltage on the speaker outputs is exactly the same as the voltage on the RCA cables... 0.03 - 0.07v, give or take.
I don't understand what would just spontaniously cause an amp to not amplify the sound coming from the RCAs... any suggestions before I go sending this amp back to cadence?
