Default SC400 Radio Problem

A couple of days ago I was giving my brother a ride to work, and the radio stopped working. After a couple of minutes and thinking, I put the volume on full blast and it was softly coming through the speakers (very low volume) I checked the volume *** and it's fine. I also took my amp out (thinking it was the problem) and there is no moisture/water whatsoever, dryer than a desert. I then looked on another forum, and it told me to disconnect the wires under the backseat..still no luck. I plugged in 4 other amps today, and it was still low volume. The fuses are fine too. I have never had a problem with the system, and I didn't realize how much I miss my radio until today! Please help...

Only the rear sub and passenger door speaker worked when i got mine, and the sound was so faint. I just replaced all the factory speakers with Kickers, ( when i took out the old ones the rubber around the funnel just fell off, guess they got old...) but everything works fine now!

The Orange connector under the backseat WAS the problem. I disconnected it again, and now everything is back to normal except..the rear sub isn't working?? Does anybody know what could cause this? Thanks in advance

It was the amp above the fuel tank as mentioned on my other thread. This only pertains to people who have the pioneer system that works off 2 amps. The nakamichi works off one amp.

What kicker speaker did you use for the sub?
