Getting a very quiet sound from sub (JL audio) Help!?!?

[Tshaffe]

I have a JL Audio 1000/1 amp and have it hooked up to a RE audio sxx 10. I recently hooked up a 2 farad capacitor and had it working. But I can't turn it up too high or I get voltage drops ( i need to get big 3). Anyway, one day all of the sudden I turned on the sub and didn't hear anything. I went to the trunk and can hear a really faint quiet bump when I put my ear up to it. So I'm like **** maybe I blew the sub, so I hooked up my w7 10" and I'm getting the same thing! But it did start playing normal for a few seconds than went back to quiet. So is there something wrong with the amp!? I really hope not... Maybe a bad connection somewhere? I kinda checked my grounds and they seemed tight but maybe not.. Should I try to unhook the power cap? Please give me suggestions!!!!?

Unhook the cap. Those amps are very power picky. If you ran it to long without power they will go into a fault. What lights are on the amp?

Only the green power light

That should mean its fine. Double check all the settings. Make sure you didn't turn the sub off on the HU. Check the RCAs also.
