right, I've had a sub fitted for a while now and all of a sudden it has started cutting out randomly and then turning back on. I originally thought that it might be the remote cable but then saw the power light stayed on whilst the sub was "off" I thought it might be a bad ground.

does anyone know what it could be ? or a good grounding point in the boot ?

cheers ,adam :D
