Subwoofer comes and goes So sometimes the subwoofer will pound and sometimes it will not. it is definetely getting power...if i adjust the gain/hz/punch eq via the amp (rockford fosgate) then the sub will start going again for a little while then its back to nothing. I've also noticed the bass getting weaker over the last few weeks...is this a sign of a bad subwoofer?

fuse, amp, altenator, battery in that order. either the fuse is about to go, the amp is blown, or the altenator is going out, battery is recharging system to much because somewhere its drawing too much.
i've got 2 12'' kicker cvr, 2200 watt performance tek sub amp, 2 infinity 6 1/2'' with components, 2 infinity 6x9's, 2 set of boss tweeters and 4 farad capacitor, 200 watt in dash dvd, navi, back up, ipod.,1000 watt 4channel performance tek amp. and x box. before i put in the capacitor, i would burn through batteries and a one altenator. once i got the capacitor it held extra charge for the music and that was the rest of the problem.
check those things and post back

yep Ive had a ground issue where the ground wasnt a good one,,and it would act like this. Make sure all + and - connections everywhere (at amp, body, batt. locations) are solid and no wires are pinched or bare and touching.
the amp has a protection system and can shut off if its encountering issues,,, like a sub coil blown,,, but i assume your light getting dim is a power issue and not a sub.
what condition is the batt in,,, and is your alt charging, does this happen when the car is running?
