I was trying to fix my stereo today, and while fixing it I ran into more problems. The initial problems was(I suspect) a bad ground, whenever I skipped tracks or pressed mute, the sub would just start beating, it was very annoying. So I tore everything apart, a very long task because I did some custom work to my trunk. Well I grounded both the amp and radio on different spots, and the prob. seemed to have been gone. But my sub wasn't working. I disconnected the pre-out for the sub, and connected it to the rear speaker pre-outs, and it started working, same for the front pre-outs. The funny thing is whenever I connected the sub pre-outs, my amp turns off, it's not supposed to do that.
What do you guys think? Did I blow my sub pre-out while I was working on the grounds, or do I have some bad wiring somewhere?
I just remember, while I was re-connecting my sub, I think the speaker wire touched the amp and I got a small spark, nothing major, could that be the prob?
