For some reason they aren't working. they sat for about 2 months, but I wouldn't think that would do anything? My amp turns on. Does the remote wire help turn on the amp or will the amp turn on if the remote wire isn't attached?

yea im pretty sure its connected because the amp turns on my friend just told me that it needs to be on for the amp to turn on and the amp turns on so it is connected, but what else could make my subs not be working?

Amp won't turn on with blown fuse. Check your RCAs in the back of the head unit and to the amp.

it could be a million things from a bad ground to a disconnected speaker. I would start at the speaker and work my way back.

check to see that the wires inside of the box are connected and also the rca's are a big thing as well you could also cut into a little more of the wire to get fresh wire to make sure there is a good connection
