Troubleshoot me please!

Hey ppl

I was cruising around tonight for the first time in a couple weeks in the camaro, making sure everything was all good. Car ran good, stereo super. So i get to my friends house and stop. I come out couple hours later, start the car, NO BASS FROM THE SUBS

I get home, check the fuse - good. check the connections on the amp - good. connections to the sub and deck - good. Try switching fuses - nothing. I look at the amp, the red light is glowing really dull, and it pulses slightly to the beat. Usually its a bright solid red

I have a Pioneer 760W amp and 2 10" image dynamics v.3 subs. Sony deck and rockford fosgate wiring kit

PLEASE HELP!

Check the ground, then make sure it has 12v+ at the battery lead and the remote wire.

That and try running you car for a while without the stereo to give the battery a chance to charge. If it has been siting for awhile then you may be running too low of a voltage to power the amp, but check the other stuff first. It's best to verify it with a DMM.

Sounds like a ground problem. Where did you ground to? What gauge wire did you use for power and ground? Did you scratch the paint away from the metal?
