[QUOTE="PittViper, post: 8444531, member: 632928"] Hi, In brief, my system consists of the following: HU: Pioneer 80prs Main amp: RF Punch p400-4 Sub amp: RF Prime 750 Front Components: Polk db6501's Sub: Alpine 12" type R wired at 2 ohms. Plus, both power and grounds use distribution blocks. Chassis ground is good. Signal wires: streetwires zn5 Speaker wire 16 gauge, not fancy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now the problem. My sub amp, which has a bass remote connected to it, is, I believe, going on and off intermittently. The system has worked flawlessly for quite a while, no this! I noticed that when the sub quits, the blue led on the bass remote knob goes off. When the bass plays again, the blue led turns back on. I was just driving one day a few days ago and all of a sudden there was no bass. I pulled into a nearby parking lot to look things over, and then the bass started playing again. I have NOT disturbed the wiring to the electronics in this system at all in quite a while. I don't see what could be the problem or what might have changed. Surely, this is not a good sign. So, I welcome all help to fix this problem from anybody who wishes to chime in. What I have done so far: checked all connections on both amps. All are tight and secure. When I turn the car on, usually, the blue light on the bass remote doesn't immediately come on like it used to as soon as the ignition key was turned. Leading me to believe that the amp is having problems with the turn on wire. But, the turn on wire is split into a Y, and feeds both amps. The main amp never cuts out. Then, if I'm lucky, the remote knob light will illuminate, and I will have bass again. Also, the bass knob is only slightly being used, only turned max about 1/3 of the way, but usually not even that. I don't know if there are any settings on the hu that I could have adjusted that would cause this behavior. Can someone please let me know how to test the system with a dmm? Thanks, Jason [/QUOTE]
