Subs getting power but no hit?

[Mattjohnston]

Hello everyone, I have 2 10 inch pioneer premier subs in a ported bBox with an 1100watt boss riot Amp in a 2016 Ford Escape (stock head unit)

when we moved from NC to MO we had to take the subs out for more trunk space(the wife had 2 suitcases... and the movers moved the subs.. everything worked fine until I tried to hook them back up today...

I've changed nothing from how it was set up.. i checked all the wires inside the box and that's hooked to the amp, they're all secure and tight... I checked the fuse in the amp and it's still good.. I know the subs are getting power because when I turn the gain up on

the amp I can hear a buzz sound and when I start the car I hear the normal thump it gives.. so my question is.. how can I get my subs to hit again??? Any suggestions?

EDIT 1: when I just went to double check the RCA on the amp when I turned my key it let out a very hard hit, but then nothing... also when I flip any of the switches on the amp it's self, it gives a faint noise to the subs as well.

Btw... I'm new so if it's posted in the wrong section I'm sorry...

You'll have to break out the dmm and check the amp and subs bro.

Make sure it's a reputable one. They are in business to sell new products and shady shops will lie.
