[QUOTE="chrismagee, post: 6380869, member: 615527"] sometimes when I start my car my sub wont be on, or it will be on and eventually, sooner rather than later, turn off again. so naturally I opened my trunk to look and see if any of my amp wires were loose or if anything was out of place, checked all my wires, everything was nice and tight, ground was still grounded, everything looks good. Went to the front, took my head unit out, RCAs plugged in fine, remotes hooked up, everythings gravy. so I slam my trunk shut in a little frustration and bam, my sub turns on, stays on for a little bit, shut back off, and I try the thing with my trunk again and it turns back on. so this lead me to thinking that maybe it was the speaker wire inside of the box, took my sub out, checked all the wiring inside and everything looks good. I also checked different sources to see if that was the case, still happens whether I'm using my iPod attachment or CD source. so basically I'm lead to believe its either my head unit, which I think it isn't, or my amp, which is a shitty BOSS brand amp that I've had and used quite regularly for almost a year. can anyone think of anything else I could try before buying a new amp? i'm eyeballing a few alpine v-power mono's on eBay to power my 12" type-e thanks in advance ADD: another reason I think its most likely the amp is because I have it mounted on the box so I'm thinking cheap materials in the amp + being mounted on the box = some broken welds or rattled wires inside there Another add: I've also checked my battery connection and fuse under the hood and everythings solid there too [/QUOTE]
