Sporadic Volume Outage

The past four days, I have been losing all volume from all of my speakers. As if someone is completely pulling the plug on them. It comes and goes as it pleases; more often than not, it goes.I have an 06 with the M&T; however, I have a Kenwood KDC-HD942U with the PAC-OEM2 adapter. Everything one the radio is still in working order. The equlizer is still moving with the music as well. This only started happening after I removed my sub on Friday due to moving. I turned off the sub in the HU to remove power from the remote wire as well as removed the fuse for the power wire. I know that should have absolutely no connection, but just wanted to state all the facts. Any ideas as to what to check first? Factory amp? PAC-OEM2? Prob won't be till this weekend till i get to check it out though if it's invasive.

Start with what you did last.. Are there any connections touching? Like RCA? Then I would move to the other last thing you did, install the HU, looking for lose/bad connections.. ectStart with the last thing done, and work your way back..

Not sure, I just shoved them back into the thin long cubby. That will be something easy to check so I'll look when I leave work and see if that may be the culprit.BTW, good to see you back on here, well at least this is the first that I've seen you on in quite a while.

Preliminary results are the RCAs for the sub were touching some of the metal in that cubby area. I think it's the metal for the Child Restaint system. Everything played just fine on my way home from work. Hopefully tomorrow it will play just the same and I will have no worries. Thanks Sublime!! Didn't really think that just taking out the sub would have caused that issue.

NP man... Shorting anything to ground can cause this... lol.. In more advanced testing of amps, we often use "muting plugs" that simply short the center to the outside of an RCA.. This should electrically MUTE the amp, showing noise issues caused by things other than signal.. lol

I had a similar issue with my M&T system.See this thread:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=41165I still have the MERTA Harness to bypass the M&T Amp.
