WTF HAPPENED? SYSTEM
I wired up my system yesterday for the first time, they're used subs and everything but they worked yesterday. I turned my volume up to like 40 out of 50 and they just stopped working in the middle of a song.. HELP PLEASE?

Did you check the amp to see if its getting power? you should do that first.then go from there if it is. then its either the amp or subs. If it isn't getting power than its the wire and or fuse holder. Sometimes the fuse holder gets loose and you will have to put it back on there and tighten it. That is only if your fuse holder isn't built into wiring.

could my power wire be bad? i checked my fuse and its connection to the wire and they seem fine.. my amp doesnt seem to get power because my blue neon isnt firing up.. could it be something with my remote wire..? i checked that also and its on tight and it is on the amp too?? wtf is going on?

my ground wire isnt like 200% screwed on but its on, should i screw it on or just leave it how it is, it stays connected its wedged into a bolt holt that holds the extra spare. but yes my amp does have a light, but ive never seen "safety" mode on it yet.. This is my first system i've ever wired.. my bad

your fuse holder may seem fine but if you can pull on it and it will pull out it may not be good right now and you need to re twist it. When you screw the bolt into the wire the wire will start to pull itself apart. I've had that problem before. Check both sides. And if the light is on though and its green then it should be working and its your sub connection if its not on then its the wire and check what i just said.
