  • Need Help w/ subs

    Hey guys... I'm relatively new to the stereo stuff and I need some help. Here's the problem. I have to 10" subs w/ a 400 watt amp. The problem is that sometime one of my subs just stops working, and then it'll kick in alil bit later then stop again. I've triple checked all of my connections, the amp is working, it's just the one sub. Now I'm thinking it might be the RCA cables b/c if I switch the l/r around the one sub that's not working will work and the other won't. So... new RCA cables? Also, if I fiddle w/ the connections on the back of the head unit (not stock) it'll kick on. So... any help will be apprieciated... Thanks guys.

    By swapping the RCAs you've eliminated from the amp and back. Doesn't sound like you need new RCAs either. Fiddling with the connections behind the headunit and having the subs kick in and out is a sure sign of a bad connection. Sounds like one of the RCA plugs is coming loose from the headunit.
