Troubleshooting - If you have an MP3 player and a 3.5mm --> RCA adapter and the amp is turning on correctly, plug in the RCAs connected to the MP3 player (with the volume all the way down). Turn up the volume and see if you get any output. If the amp is turning on, but the outputs aren't... you probably should invest in a new amp. If the amp doesn't turn on, you should redo the remote wire connections.
-Ya the amp turns on fine and I made sure that the wire is in good and is not getting any stress. I connected the amp strait to the car batt with a small fuse box.

Check your ground.
-The AMP is inside the actual sub and the power connections are fine.

- I think it is the sub cause I just figured out when I turn my volume up to about 40 (which is kinda high) the sub starts to output like it should and when i bring it back down from that it stays on meaning the sub is working but if i don't raise the volume when I start the car (which my volume is normally set at 20 (normal)) it sound like the sub is muffled. Anyways I think i'm ok with it now knowing that THX man
