Default subs cut out fast reply please

, i was driving down the road with my subs pounding , and then out of nowhere they just turned off , as if the ground came off , but wen i checked there was still power to teh amp the light was on , i didnt check too see if power was comeing out to the subs because i didnt have a test light but i chouldnt have seen iit being the subs blowing , because there was no loud noise , plus i have two 12s so i couldnts ee them both going at the same time , i was thinkning maybe it was the amp , but hopfully it could be teh rca cables , it isnt the remote because the amp is on , and theres power and ground too the amp but nothing comes out whatsoever , and i cant hear them turn on wen i turn my deck on , i was told that it was cause it was too cold out that they just stopped and that thell turn back on wen the car sets for a few hours , because i didnt let it warm up properly :S ive never heard of that before but ive never experianced this problem , any help whould be great

There is a fuse in the amp that controls power flow to the Subs themselfs, more then likely you blew that fuse.. the amp will still turn on with that fuse blown.

2nd...

you could have pinched the rca cables.

or you could have froze the subs, = to blowing, just dont rip they lock up due to magnet displacement = your ****ed.

What are you talking about? There is no fuse to the subs......and I dont even understand what your saying about froze subs....it doesnt matter how cold it is...you can blast away as soon as you get in the car. Unless the subs are literally frozen, but then I dont imagine you would be driving the vehicle then. Your speaker wire could have came off in the box. Check that first.

When you start the car do they turn on again? The sub coil can sieze up in the magnet. That happened to one of my power acustik subs. Your amp should have a light for a fault in the wiring from the amp to the sub

Its hard to say..................rca's came unplugged somehow.....your rca inputs on the amp are done for......output on the headunit is done for......Try hooking up another speaker if you can.
