Oh, sure... MAKE the assumption that there was an aftermarket deck when nothing was mentiond at all about such a beast in the OP. [:P] 1qwk96gt, that's why I asked about names and models of ALL your equipment! When posting, please mention everything in the system at the time... It'll help. It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I did not see the post, but I was able to see you typing it.

Okay update: Everything with this system/setup has been working great over the years. Now all of a sudden it quit working. I checked power and ground to the amplifier (all is well there). I ended up doing the temporary repair on the external fuse in the headunit and everything is still in tact. I checked all wiring to the speakers and everything is hooked up properly. The factory speakers all work properly its just the subwoofer is not "hitting". Any ideas? I read online you can take a DMM and check AC voltage and it should be around 44.9 give or take with the radio turned up loud. I checked mine and nothing. Could I open up the amp and repair something. thanks

A buddy of mine is suggesting the amp just went bad. It is 11 years old. What are the life expectancy of amplifiers? Thanks.

anybody? cant seem to figure out why my sub quit hitting but all wires are hooked up properly and the amplifier light is lite. Fuses are not blown.

Sounds like time to replace the amp to me.Support the12volt.com

did you check for a proper ohm load on the sub woofer's coils? even if it turns out to be the amp is bad, you still would need to check the sub woofer for damage because that could have been what killed the amp and you wouldn't want to put a brand new amp into the same situation and blow a second amp.
