Default Subs acting WIERD!!! **HELP**

ok well for the past year my system has been working fine and about a week ago it started acting up, if i cut my radio on with the volume at 0 where u cannot hear whats playing , the Subs are pulsating every second and i can turn the volume up but it still does it and plays the song on my sub but u just cant hear it pulseating , the sound is like a thump sounds and not a bass sound like its supposed to be!! i dont know what the problem is , i hooked another amp up to it and its still doin it...maybe the wiring or something i have no idea!!

First thing I'd try is unhooking the RCA plugs from the amp (to give it no input signal) and see if that helps. If it does help, try a portable CD player or something.

ok well i found the problem, first we changed all the wires, rca jack,remote, power, ground and speaker wires and still it was doing the same thing, so i took my subs and amp next door to my neighbors ford explorer and hooked it up and it worked PERFECTLY fine!! so then we took his BRAND NEW amp and subs and hooked it up in my car with the NEW wires, and it was doing the same thing mine was , pulsating badly...so come to find out it was my deck the whole time...i have never had that problem before and dont know how it went out...but it only happens whenver the amp is bridged on my amp or his amp, but hooked up straight with both channels it works very good..only bridged it does it , but in his car bridged it works perfectly!!! so yeh i gotta get a new deck ....
