so my amp used to be hooked up to my factory deck through an rca adapter, now i bought a new deck and some cheap rca's from radio shack (which might be my problem), and it worked fine for about a week and all of a sudden the sub started cuttin out and would just randomly turn on even when i didnt have music playing. and now the light on my amp isnt turning on, not even the protect mode light. can someone tell me whats wrong?

Two things off the top of my head:

1. Amp may not be turning on. Check you REM wire.

2. Your amp is broken.

Two signs right there.

Im not sure if RCA's would deal with the amp not turning on.

You probably just have a loose wire either at the amp or the battery. Check and make sure your ground has a clean and strong connection.
