Phoenix Gold Phorum

Here is what is happening with my system. I got hit from behind while sitting at a stoplight. My speakerbox turned over backwards landing on the rca cables, thus pushing in the outputs. Now the subs are not playing but the amps are on, when I move the rca cables, the subwoofers starts going crazy. The insurance adjustor is having someone to come out and look at it, but I wanted to get some people's opinion as to why its doing that. Thank you.

From your description it sounds like the enclosure damaged the RCA terminals on the amp, thus they have now been slightly (or entirely) disconnected from the circuit board of the amp. If this is the case, disconnect the power wire fuse and don't try to play the system until you replace the amp or have it repaired by a new RCA terminal or resoldering the jarred one back to the board.

Pictures of said system damage would be more helpful to troubleshoot

I don't have any pics to put up, the truck is sitting at the bodyshop. Some audio guy is going to go out there and look at it to see if they will write me a check to replace them or if its fixible.

From your description it sounds like JayGold is correct, the RCA terminals have been damaged.
