[QUOTE="Betelgeuse, post: 8741499, member: 680503"] That factory amp for your TJ is inside the sleeve that contains the subwoofer. If you feel around in there, you can feel the metal heatsink. Maybe your amp is getting tired? I'm not that great on electrical stuff, but that amp doesn't get it's own ground, it gets it through the harness. Unless a pin is loose on the plug, I would think more things would be using that ground would be acting wonky, too? My LJ did not come with that option, but the console is the same. My console just had a big white tub in in. I drilled out the rivets holding it in then bought the subwoofer assembly off of ebay. It came with a brand new Qaudratec sub like you gave which I did not use. I used a Dual 1-ohm 6.75" kicker sub and a mini half-ohm stable kicker amp. I bypassed the factory amp, drilled a hole in the bottom of the assembly, ran my speaker wire through it, then sealed the hole around the speaker wire. It was ok, I guess.
