What Kind Of Setup Is It? What Guage Wires? The First Thing That Came To Mind Is The Remote Wire.. Thats What Threw Me Off A Little.... But You Said That Its Hooked Up... Hmmmm....

What About The Wires Inside The Box? One Of My Speakers Wasnt Working Bc The Soldering On From The Voice Coil To Bracket Was Off... Check Inside The Sub Box. If The Power Light Is On On The Amp I Would Double Check "all" Speaker Wires

get an mp3 player and hook it up to the amp (use a 1/8"-to-rca cable), turn the gain on the amp and the volume on the mp3 player ALL THE WAY DOWN, then turn both on, bring up the levels slowly to see if you get anything at all. if not, bad amp.

if you have a aftermarket stereo, is the SUB pre-out turned ON?

Well, that was easy... I was going to say try another grounding point, but whatever.
