    Dont know too much about systems but a bit.
    Deck had no pwer so I checked fuse on it. Changed it. Now has power.
    Amp had no power so I checked fuse. Changed it. Power light is on now.
    Sub still will not work.

    Finally realized that a wire came loose (12V) one so i reconnected it. But I still have nothing from my sub.

    When i touch the outside of the amp, a metal part with the wire that is supposed to connect to the 12V by accident my sub just pumped barley.

    And now when i loosen or tighten the screws L R that go to the sub it makes funny sounds and pumps slighlty.

    Did i wreck my sub?

    so the amp got touched by the 12v power wire?

    you may have just fried your amp.

    you never work on a system with live wires.

    Well...I always pull the fuse out before messing with wires...or undo the battery ground
