[QUOTE="noble brown, post: 8415756, member: 653341"] It sounds like you may have a bad channel connection somewhere and the amp is only playing through one channel and periodically it makes a good connection and then the sound gets "stronger" for a few until it drops out again. While it's playing "weak", go to your amp and unplug the RCA's at the amp, one channel at a time. Unplug one, then plug it back in and unplug the other. Each time you unplug one the sound should get half as loud. If you unplug one and nothing changes. Then this is the bad channel. Plugging it back in and unplugging the good one should cut the sound out completely. This doesn't mean it's the wires though. You've gotta do a bit more troubleshooting to be sure it's the wires and not the amp or the output to the sub's. But do this test first and then lmk what the results were and we can go from there [/QUOTE]
