    You say the the amp is still on, but no sound...?
    Possibly you blew the sub. If you can, disonnect your sub, and temporarily hook up another. See if that fixes it.
    Of, if you have access to one, check the impedence of the woofer with a multi-meter. This will also help indicate if there is a problem with the sub.

    Just because a sub is "barely" a month old, does not mean its not blown....

    Switching amps seems to have fixed it...? At lease you know the root of the problem. Most local shops (including the one I work at) should be able to bench-test the amp to see what might be wrong...bad RCA input, bad output, etc.

    This information might/might not be helpful to you...depends on if you are looking to get the amp reparied or not.

    Mark? As in Mark Shannon? You have got to be kidding me. That guy can only build boxes and tell outlandish stories of how he partys in Florida on a cruise shop on the weekends. Besides, he isn't even there anymore.

    Second. Its called Carrollton car stereo and if you call there, ask for the owner.... Ethan or shop manager... Bobby.

    Mark doesnt work there anymore. Daniel took his spot. They only build/built boxes though.

    Bobby and Eathen are the masterminds of installs and such.

    Yea, I Don't think Ethan sub contracts his box building work anymore. I know he bought his own equipment and is going to build them himeself/or employee of CCS.
