| Sub doesn't work unless doors are slammed.... lolwtf
Friend of mine is asking for help over facebook.... Here are the symptons of the trouble she is having....
The subwoofer won't play even if the car is on, until the rear doors are slammed :S
The sub doesn't cut otu over bumps or anything, and will continue working until the car is off.
She has a stock deck and speakers so I'm assuming a line-out converter.
Thats all I really got... I will probably go look on the weekend, but until then any guesses?
Also Mike I told her I will probably just send her to you

Could be a poor ground or remote wire?
Check the amp and all the terminals.

Will be checking the ground and remote for sure. Remote was my first guess. The install was done by Diamond Stereo in maple ridge, from what I know theyre an okay shop and shouldnt screw up a basic sub/amp install.
Also she mentioned she brought it back there and they wanted to charge he $70 to try adding something on, but they weren't sure if it would help.... she forgets what it was they wanted to try though..

Yeah just go through all the wiring from the deck to the amp and sub. Don't forget to check the battery terminal and the fuse. Sometimes it just a loose wire somewhere in between but the fact it works when the door is slammed seems like a poor remote/ground connection.

Thats insane that they would charge her more to fix a problem that they should be addressing. Would it not be under warranty?
Either way I would be happy to look at it for her. I am sure I will have a solution.

Yea I dunno, I assumed it would be too but thats what they told her.
I'll have a quick peek at it, and when I can't find the problem I'll just send her your way.
