[QUOTE="Nevalite, post: 4164670, member: 581408"] Hey everyone, So I have a Kicker ZX750.1 and an Alpine 12" Type-R running off a CDA-9885... I installed this system at the beginning of the winter and everything was working fine for about 2 months. One day I took my sub out because I needed the trunk space for a snowboard trip. When I got back from the trip I noticed that I had broken one of the RCA wires going into the Amp. I figured it would be an easy fix. I cut the RCA wire, bought a new jack and soldered it up, plugged it in and I got nothing from my sub... I thought maybe I didn't do it right so I went and bought a new wire completely, still nothing. I returned the wire and kept my fixed one. Now I thought maybe the actual jack in the amp broke somehow so I opened up the amp and I ran 2 wires connected to the 2 parts of the RCA input on the PCB and attached a new jack to them, connected it up and still nothing... Now, today I took out the sub, opened the box, re-wired the inside of the box, put it back in the car. At first it didnt work, then I messed around a bit and it started working!!! It ran perfect for about 10 seconds and then it completely stopped again... (this happened 2 times) It's like it started working and then lost its charge or something and then stopped... It seemed like it could be a grounding problem so I decided to find a new grounding spot (I knew the one I had wasn't the best). I grinded it down to bare metal and everything, re-attached it all but still the sub won't work... --- I'm out of ideas and I don't know why this won't work, here are some pics I took of the set-up. [IMG]http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/255/dsc00615ce6.jpg[/IMG] Sub in the box [IMG]http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/9750/dsc00620qi0.jpg[/IMG] Side of Amp [IMG]http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/7707/dsc00621qy4.jpg[/IMG] New grounding spot (grinded down the car itself and both sides of that plate) [IMG]http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/2930/dsc00622ml9.jpg[/IMG] Here you can see the fixed RCA wire and the new Jack that I made. [IMG]http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/4061/dsc00623jq4.jpg[/IMG] Inside of RCA jack. Everything seems fine to me, and the wires are fined because it did run good for like 10 seconds and then die again, I just don't know what to do anymore. I've tried everything I can think of. Any help/ideas/suggestions are GREATLY appreciated, really, anything. Thanks so much. [/QUOTE]
