You spent all that money and the shop you bought it from will not help you? Oh, did you buy this over the internet...?

sony head unit, it was weird the way it was working i had the radio on and when i would first touch the speaker cables to the amp it would be loud then quiet then loud then quiet again it wouldnt stay at steady bass?? then i just connected the speaker wires to the amp and tried again and the amp had power but there was nothing coming from the sub?? i think it might be the rca cables but i have no idea?? how about you

i fixed the problem, all i needed was just a better rca cable and a bigger remote wire, its a friends car and he is running a whole bunch of crap he has 3 JLW7's and is getting one more and he wanted to be able to power them..

That makes not sense at all. the size of the remote line has nothing to do with it, it simply cant. And while the RCA's can cause a minor difference I cant see them causing the problems you described unless the RCA's had a defect in them, just out of intrest, if you had a 900 dollar sub, why didnt you have proper wiring to start with?

0 guage to the amp 4 guage to the subs any rca's would work thats just a signal there no strength and remote is just a switch it does nothing for the power aspect my only guess what that the rca werent tight and the subs wer shaking it loose but even that is far fetched

4 gauge to the subs is super over kill, you would only need 8-10 gauge at the most. This isnt a nuclear power plant here, its a car audio sub :)
