this is true. ive looked at it all and cant find any obvious faults. considering dropping it into an audio shop and seeing if they can find something. but that could be 2 weeks before i get a chance haha.
the sub is a Kicker 10TCVT124 12" slim line
and the amp is a Cadence QRS Q6000A mono block. the gain is at about a third to half way by memory if that helps.

so just checked all my wires. swapped the speaker wire and everything has power except the speaker wires. changed all my fuses again and checked my battery and its charging properly. the amp still isnt in protection or losing power. starting to think ive blown something in the amp maybe?
have racked my brain completely of ideas at this point.

I don't think a capacitor is what is required to fix your issue.

Just keep it in mind if you expand your system dramatically.
It's kind of like a half way point before upgrading to a dual battery system. Well maybe a 1/3 of the way, but I'm sure you get what I mean. LOL

If you know your may around electronics you could always open it up and see what you find. It could be a bad solder or something.
DO NOT OPEN IT if you are not confident around electronics though!!

I have 'Blowen up' one of my amps 3-times. And each time fixed/changed something to get it back.
But also have had amps that straight up died with no internal visible reason. RIP/

yeah im not doing that haha. didnt pay enough attention to that at school.
i cant see any burn marks or loose items or obviously bad parts in the amp but. the bottom of it is clear perspex so ive already looked at that side of things aswell haha.

LOL @ skool comment.

WOW, Clear perspex bottom is pretty cool.
That will have given you a good idea that nothing major has given up the ghost.

Have you checked all your wiring connections, and maybe the cables themselves. everything from power to RCA's to signal, to speaker.
It could be as simple as a loose connection or bad terminal.
