Well I just got off the phone with JL and they are going to send me a new amp, once I send mine in. I will let you all know how the rest of it goes.

I got it from Car Toys in Tulsa OK. They all ready told me they would swap it out, but since there is a JL dealer in Bitburg, I am going try to go strait thru them.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, that or a cold sodder joint. I might see if JL will let me fix it myself, and still keep the warranty. They probably won't go for it, but since I do the same type of stuff everyday at work. I might as well try.

see i told you to use the big hammer.where did you buy the amp from

Well I found the problem. I went thru and rechecked every power wire, and conection. Didn't find anything. So I ran it for about an hour, and started putting everything back together. Well I was on my way to the car wash, and it did it again. (!@#$ !@#$%) So I stoped, walked to the trunk, and placed three firm (ok it was damn hard) hits on my sub amp. DING, last hit was right above the speaker conections, and the sub cam back on. Checked the wires, and as before they were good, so it has to be internal to the amp.

Well I am off to email JL. I will let you know how it goes.

Thats funny, We have this huge wooden malet at work hanging up with a sign that reads (WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS)

take a nice big hammer when its working right and just bang on everytthing you think can be wrong till it shuts off. i better not say stuff like that someone might actually do it and blam me for it. hope you figure it out though.

And two days later the problem is back. It didn't act up at all till today. Ran over a speed bumb, and sub goes off again. I really don't think its the sub, I pushed it pretty hard the last 2 days, and it never faltered once. So I will get into it more tommorow and see what I can find.

No I don't sit in emp feilds. But that giant radar dish right next to my work kinda worries me.

Ok back to the subject. I fixed it, not sure how, but it is gone. Drove all day without a problem. The only thing I did was tape off the rca leads (eclipse has leads comming from the deck, not the RCAs attatched to the chassy) Other than that I didn't really change anything. Disconected and reconected a few wires but that is it. Oh well at least its gone. Thanks for the help.
