DEAD system! NEED IDEAS/HELP!!!

[zealous 10+ year member]

So here's the story:

I installed my car audio system and everything ran fine for about a year and half. About 3 months ago, I was pulling into my stall and the whole system died. I checked all the connections and fuses, everything looked fine, so I assumed that a piece of equipment must have failed. So my system didn't work for about a month, but one day, it suddenly kicked back on and worked fine like nothing had ever happened.

About a month later, the timing belt on my car blew and I had to take it into the shop, system worked fine before going into the shop, but once it came out, it was down again. That was about 3 weeks ago.

I know that power is getting to the sub/speaker amps, but have no clue why they aren't online. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
