I hooked up all my wiring and etc but when My system comes on it doesnt seem to be pushing the subs hard enough and once in a while ill get a big push for about 2 seconds then it will go softer. Also when I turn the volume on the deck all the way down ill get my subs thumping to no music. I think it might be my RCA cables or the deck itself? Also I can hear my cars idle or throttle in my subs?? Any suggestions or answers?

its probably your rcas. check how you ran them to your amp because they might just be pinched and depending on the quality of your rcas you might just need some better ones. you can also try grounding the outer ring of the rca plug and see if that does anything.

Is it a Pioneer deck?

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."
