Can an amp turn on if it has a bad ground. Mine turns on but my subwoofer will not work. Both are brand new.

make sure you have the sub wired correctly because if the amp is working fine then it should have to do with the amp cables. i would go over all your wires on your amp, make sure you have everything set correctly, and then make sure your amp can take the load its presented with.

what amp and sub(s) do you have?

Does the ground wire have to be connected to the metal part of the car by it self or can it have other wires in contact with it?

The ground wire is connected by itself no other wires are attached.
