yes, the RCA connections are connected correctly and all fuses are checked on the amp, under the hood and inside the car, all fuses are GOOD...

i can hear the distinct noise on the subwoofers as i turn on the power... but when i play the radio or cd it doesn't emit any sound to the subs... the speakers in the car works...

my set was working fine for about 3yrs now and it died yesterday... but i will triple check all connections tomorrow and we'll see what it is...

PLAN B:
i'll buy an amp at bestbuy tomorrow and see if that works... if it does... then it's the amp if it doesn't then it's the wiring...

12V on amp turn on wire?

Disconnect the subs from the amp and take a resistance reading. If you have a 9V battery you can pop the subs when they're unhooked and see what it sounds like. Any scratching noises or just a thump?

Sounds like the subs are good. Bench testing or swapping out the amp seems like a good next step.
