Need Help!

They are monster cables, I tried unplugging one sub but I have two amps wired separately. One sub on each amp. It works with one channel of the rca hooked in but not both..

pull out the deck disconnect the rca's. grab your dmm and resistance check from one end of the rca to the other just to make sure that the rca's are wired properly. Because it really sounds like somehow, somewhere the signal is reversed on one channel.

Well I tested the rca's and they are functioning normally. I messed with it a little more and I still have the same outcome. Let me reword this again excluding information that is not on topic.

I have a pioneer deck with outputs for subs. One white one red. So I have a set of monster cables hooked up to those outputs and off the the trunk. Now my pioneer amp has one red and one white input. So I adjust gain to match, hook up everything else amp has power and is functional. So I plug the white plug coming from the deck to the white. Pumps good. I plug the red one in and complete distortion. Unplug either white or red and pumps good again. I have my sub bridged. So it only works properly with one channel of the rca hooked up.

Alright well it turns out my rca cables are in fact cursed. They tested fine, I even went as far as testing them with a video signal. But when I put new ones in it worked. Thanks for all the help.
