Jedi mind trick System :( help

[stealthcl 10+ year member]

ok i have my system hooked up in my trunk 1 12", but, it stopped working so i was like WTF! then i pull my whole box (while the music is still on) back towards the rear of the trunk....it works.....so i push back to the back of my trunk.....and it stops....pull it out again, and it works....you get the idea. but why was it doing that....i say WAS, because now all together it stopped...........WTF!?!?!

so it works in the middle of my trunk, but not back against the seatback.....where it has been.

what could be the problem? its like some mind trick someones playing on me....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

ok wow so the connections to the terminal inside were looser than crap i pulled the wire right out of the clip thing. but i accientally broke it trying to tighten it down with pliers. so where do they sell them at? Walmart? hopefully. only thing thats open this time and tomorrow

ok i got new quick disconnect things, theyr all secure now but it still doesnt work.

i was messing around with the RCAs and when i pulled one out the sub would just slightly hit. and do the same for when i put it back in....WTF is it the RCAs? their all wired under my seats so i really dont want to think about them maybe geting messed up down there?

anybody have suggestions?
