Car Amp is on but not powering my subs

In the car listening to my stero and all of a sudden the bass completely stoped. The amp is still on but its like there is no signal going to the amp. I have had a problem in the past where my subs would get along of a high bass sound like a doon doon doon doon sound. I would then turn or jiggle my rca cables and it would stop so im thinking maybe the rca jack or wire is bad. Is this what the problem could be and regardless what can I do to fix it.

Yes..ur assumptions r right..it cud b the rca jack or a bad wire..check the connection as it cud hav gone loose due to car vibrations.also check the fuse of the amp.

KAC9103d been running great for a year, factory refurb. for a month been losing sub output. checked all connections again, everything good. Turned on went driving 15 minutes later lost bass ckd again red...

Could be that you have a partially roasted(blown) coil on one of your subs which will function- but will keep tripping your amp.You can check that out just by using a different set of subs to listen to and by the process of elimination if the problem goes away then you know where the problem is at.Also check your gains you might be riding the gain a little high which causes distortion which causes heat(FAST) which will cause the amp to shut down completely or some amps will decrease output in a programmed attempt to save itself.turn the bass boost down to half if you even use it at all- that too can cause massive distortion in the amp itself,meaning only that if you have the bass boost on your deck turned up and then you turn the boost up on your amp the sound signal is then WAYYY distorted which will cause a thermal shutdown too. Last thing is to make sure that your subs arent running below 2 ohms because i believe that particular amp is designed to put out about 900 watts at 2 ohms.good luck

Amp wire pushin to much base out of car speakers and not to subs

Umm.. subs are usually meant for bass. do you mean amp power wire? if you just want to be able to hear the mid's and highs better just turn the bass down either on the equalizer on your amp or on your cd player.

My subs don't bump to the beat, they just go THUMP THUMP THUMP...

It sounds like you need to ask for pro help mate, mybe the amp just needs setting properly, Is the amp on bypass for bass, or does the amp run the complete system

Sub keeps loosin bass

Its probably not your subwoofer- its likely that your amp is showing its age after 2 years of bumping -But it could be that you have partially roasted the coil on the sub which is tripping your amp into protect mode-thus shutting down throw a different sub in there for a week and listen to it and if it stops acting up then its probably the sub if it still shuts down then it may be time for a new amp

No bass at higher volume

Your battery should be fine! Although the amp might not be strong enough for the sub. All you can do is check the RCA cables from your radio to your amp as these might vibrate loose when you get to 17 volume and also check the monster cable from your amp to your sub asit might have vibrated loose as well.
