subs playing wierd

I posted this on my build log, but this might get more responces.

Well, here's the deal guys. I've unhooked both bass knobs from the amp as of now. The reason is because now when the subs are playing bass notes from just a normal song, it will hit hard, then sort of just go back and forth, kind of like hitting and missing bass notes( all of this is after the bass knobs have been unplugged). But it does this when the bass notes are still being played in the song, not just randomly after bass hits. Right now the bass boost on the amps are half way up(if I turn them all the way down, I can have the gains cranked and nothing will come out of the subs, so they have to be set half way to even get the subs moving). I've checked the remote wires going to the amps and they are fine, but I think the problem is the rcas. The rcas we are using are pretty thin Schoche rcas, but we are going to replace them tomorrow with some pretty beafy ones that deffinatly won't have signal interference. Do y'all think this is the problem, by having thin rcas, or do you think it's something else.

I really need to know something soon!

Thanks.

Check ur grounds....I think I have had this come across with another person...they could be loose or too long.

I never thought about that, but when we first put the amps in, and even a couple of days after that, the subs played just fine. However, the past couple of days they started to act funny like I described in the post above. When I get to work I'll check the "master" ground on the body and see if it's good and tight. I'm still going to relace the rca's, because they are junk anyway. Could there be any othe cause to this event?

Well for sure check the rca's...little things like that can cause unwanted performance, but other than that I say just checking ur grounds.

Well, I fixed the ground connection, and that did it. The subs for some reason don't play as loud now, but I think when I get it on thursday I'll go somewhere nobody will ***** because of it being too loud and tune it more. Thanks for the reply.
