The hard thing with problems like this... is that we cant know for sure or anything... the best ideas are to trouble shoot... all your wires, an even the cd player its self. With my pioneer deck, if my battery dies or anything happens to my fueses and my pionner is shutdown.... not turned off.... all the settings are preset... and it automaticly turns off my sub output.... and i went around for like 3 days thinking my sub was dead when it was just cause i forgot about turning it on in my deck.... just a simple mistake...trouble shoot

tihnk that could be it? my battery didnt die or anything so the memory couldnt have been lost unless it just for some reason decided to turn the sub output off on its own. the sub just stopped playin in the middle of the song, wasnt even cranked all the way. im gettin worried

Use a HT amp or something to see if the amp is o.k

just hook the HT RCA's up to the amp

Or a mini plug to RCA converter, just use any player that has a head phone output

take sub out, test it in the house with a 9v battery on the terminals. if it moves, it most likely isnt broke.

test the amp with another source, walkman, portable cd player.. just get RCA->3.5 mini jack (like on the head of your headphones) and use that as the source instead of your deck. if the amp works with the sub (that you have already tested to make sure it works) then its your wire or HU.

if not, its your wire or amp.

make sure all connections are tight - blablabla.

try and test your amp in somone elses car.
