Why am I still not getting any thump thump??? So I know the amp is getting power. I re attached the ground as well using a proper ring, i put in 14 ga wires from the sub to the amp, and its still not getting anything most of the time. then it'll kind of cut in and out. Could it be the remote wire? this is really pissing me off.... any suggestions?

A few things you might want to check:
1. Make sure that your power and ground wires and larger enough to provide enough power to the amp (should say requirements on box). I've usually seen 4-8 gauge wire for power and ground.
2. You want your ground wire to be as big or slightly bigger than the power wire.
3. Check every connection that has to do with the amp, from the battery to the ground to the speaker connections both at the amp and the speaker. If necessary, inside the box between the speaker and box terminals. Make sure ground is connected to an unpainted surface.
4. Make sure your amp has a large enough output to power the speaker(s).
Other than those, I can't think of anything else at the moment.
