less and less loud now no sound...what???

[Nevalite 10+ year member]

Hey,

OK heres the story:

I broke one of my RCA wires while putting snowboards in the car, the pin on the RCA wire got stuck in the amp. I opened the amp and pushed the pin out, I made a new RCA wire, I plugged it in and now the system doesnt work...

I decided to do a test to see if my HU was the problem so I took a mini jack to RCA wire and plugged my ipod directly into the amp. For the first time in a while I heard noise coming out of the sub, it then got less and less loud until I couldnt hear it anymore. If I plug the ipod in now it gives nothing, same for the HU.

WTH could be going on?

Any ideas or tests I could run are appreciated, I'm all out of ideas here

Thanks

I dont know when it broke, I only noticed when I went to put the sub back in (I had it out for about 2 weeks)

did you try brand new RCAs? Maybe its the ghetto ones that you "made."

Yeah I bought brand new ones, and by "made" I meant that I replaced the broken end (with the broken pin)
