Recently my subs stopped playing. I checked the amp and it was on but it wasn't registering anything on its meters (Audiobahn). Well I was planning on cleaning the motor and I noticed that the neg terminal was pretty nasty, so I cleaned it off and the subs worked for a few days. Today I cleaned it again (battery has a slight crack near post) and again the subs worked. The amp is not grounded to the battery for those who might be wondering. Any thoughts?

sounds like a bad ground to the chassis from the battery(if the cable was bad/or cracked). The amp might try to find a new ground and fry itself.

Check all of your amp connections, not just the hot one for power. Make sure the ground has got a solid connection. Remove the wire and scuff the area with some sandpaper. Also, check your remote wire to make sure it's connected firmly.
