Default Subwoofer doesn't work.

I have an Pioneer GM-5200T
2 JL 12w3v2 in a sealed box wired in series, it is connected bridged to the amp.
here is how it is wired


Okay my amp has power and this happened to me before when my amp has power but the the subs just didnt work, I checked the wiring of the subs in the box and some wires werent connected. i connected them and my subs started working again.

This time however the subs are connected, My amp is getting power, and wiring of everything is connected, and my subs still don't work. however they work for about 10 seconds after i drive a little bit and go off again.

My only explaination that i can come up with is My amp has a short?

what should i do? or how should i test everything.
I am thinking about getting a new amp because i know mines is crappy.

You need a volt meter and some long lead with alligator clips. Connect them to the circuit you are wanting to test and to the meter you'll have up front, and drive around till the issue arises. You'll need to understand what the meters reading means. Too many variables for me to guess at the problem. gl

Thats exactly how I wired my subs! But I have a JL 250/1 Amp. I love how it sounds. I have the headunit setting at -19 usually.
