Hey guys

I have a Pioneer DEH-P3800MP deck. 2 days ago I was listening to some song and the volume kinda lowered to all the speakers and the deck stopped sending signal to the sub.

It still shows that the amp is connected to the deck. And the led on the amp lights up. yesterday when i started the car the sub ran for a minute or two, then stopped again. I checked all my wiring on the harness but it is fine.

What could it be?? did the deck blow up or something? i don't have another deck that i could use to check if my deck is messed.

damnn it is a trip. I thought I was reading my problem when I read his.

But anyways my speakers work fine and its just the sub which starts and stops working. It only works for a minute or two when it does work. I already checked the wiring of the harness. It could be my RCA as im using one from a dvd player. I took out my deck n used an old one from my buddy and same problem happened so I guess its the wiring.

I was getting my alarm/remote start hooked up at futureshop and the guy told me it could be my ground wire as mine wasn't bolted down. He told me to sand the area where ground wire touches the chassis to bare metal for proper contact. He also gave me a 60 amp fuse for the power wire for the amp. I currently have 30 amp fuse on it when the amplifier has 3 20 amp fuses on it.

sooo ... did you do what the guy said? if a fuse blows then the amp wont work at all

ok i found out my ground wasnt properly hooked to the chassis even though I had tightened it . When I opened teh hatch n moved it around the sub started to work. yaaaaay!!!
