I parked my car in a lot and went driving with a friend in his prelude, got back a few hours later, started the car, put the faceplate on the deck, and head no bass, so I thought wtf? when I got home, i opened the trunk, and felt my subs, no movement what soever (that didnt sound right), amp turns on, but no out put or subs not workin or something, I just realized I should check the mode (protection maybe?) I didnt have time to diagnose it tonite, and will look tomorrow, but what do you guys think?

Might want to make sure the fuse up at the battery didn't blow. The remote turn on will still turn the amps on, they just won't have any hardcore power to draw.

what togle is saying is correct, the auto turn-on wire is what turns on the power led.
so you have several choices of what's wrong
1) power wire has come loose, blown fuse, etc ...
2) ground wire has come loose - the amp can still "pull" ground from the RCA shields
3) amp is damaged
4) sub is damaged
