Subwoofer isn't always putting out sound.

I am running a Lanzar VCTBS8 Vector 8-Inch Super-Slim 600-Watt Active High-Power Subwoofer Enclosure. It's nothing fancy but it does get the job done.

I've been having this issue for about 2-3 weeks now. Sometimes the unit puts out sound and sometimes it doesn't. The power light is always on, it just doesn't always put out sound. It's a 50/50 shot on whether it puts out sound when I first start the car and turn on the stereo. Sometimes I'll be driving down the road and it will turn off out of nowhere or randomly pop back on.

It doesn't seem to be consistent with anything. It happens whether I have the volume cranked or down low. It doesn't matter if the a/c, headlights, etc. are on or off. The unit is installed under my driver's seat so I have reached down and it's not running hot or anything. The cables all seem tight on the sub but I don't know how to get to the back of the head unit in my car to check that side (2007 Nissan Versa S Sedan). I have also checked the in-line fuse which still looks brand new. Could it possibly have anything to do with my batter connections?

I've never had a subwoofer in my car before so I don't have a clue as to what could be wrong.

 
I'm guessing you are using the factory headunit ? If so could be your lineout converter or maybe your remote wire . Next time it goes out get another set of rca wires . Plug them into your amp take the other end and touch them together and see if you get any noise from your sub .if you do you know you are not getting a good signal to your amp . If that doesn't work and you don't have a meter to check your remote wire you can try a jumper from your b+ to your remote input do not leave this jumped out it's just a quick test hope this helps .
