novice installer professional problem

Or the terminal cup on the back of the box is bad...

i tried that as well. and it gets a better signal now. but the cutting out part still occurs, and it doesnt occur when i switche the  nob on the HU to the Right or Left speaker. so only one sub is playing at a time. or when i turn the bass all the way down on the HU then it stops too... the wires are fine, i replaced them today with equal sized wires and they still do it. which is annoyying personally.

im going to move my LOC from in the trunk where its located now. to somewhere in my glove box. (removable interior. fuse box is inside) its easier access and WAY less possibility for interferance. but also i wont have a mile long set of wires running from the HU to the trunk for speakers, then BACK to the amp in the front of the car... thats like 14 feet of wiring and coaxle put together. talk about lengthy...

and one last question, anyone know where to get longer power cable without a kit?? mine is too short to get anywhere but under the passenger seat. and my 1000 watt cant fit under it :-/

I am going nuts reading this.... I tried, but got myself a BIG headache tryin to keep up.....

Im sorry, I just had too!

I would take everything out and start over when you have time to do it right without hurry. Take your time and check all connections. Dont leave any connection with just bare wire. Have you read the sticky about setting your gain if so then you would know if thats all the bass you can get from the amp/speaker combo. I see that you cut alot of corners with your install. If you set it up right then you will know its not the install its the equipment.

yes 12" red duals...  before. just one sub would cut out, but i tested the wires  attached to the LOC in my trunk. i believe i had them backwards so i switched it, and now they work fine, but now they both cut out for a different reason, i think my amp is getting starved from "juice" because when it hits. the lighting on my amp dims ALOT, another replier on this post suggested my ground was bad, and i havent checked it twice

but when i first installed it, the bolt had surface rust, and so did the bar it ran through (seat mount) so im going to grind down the bar and get a new bolt. and if that isnt it, then its either the bare wires from the LOC conversion. (which im going to move to behind the radio soon for less interferance.)  or its my stock HU.. but i doubt its my HU.
