Default Help! Subwoofer won't work

Okay problem solved!

The amp that I initially tried to install (not the new one) was defective. The new amp when I set it up didn't work with the old sub so I tried it with the new sub and that didn't work either. The new sub is a shallow pioneer that came with a slim pioneer enclosure. It dawned on me that although it is new, the wiring may be messed up inside. I took the subwoofer out and the wire inside wasn't even attached to the subwoofer! I plugged the wires in and hooked it up and it finally worked. But then i was wondering why my old sub wasn't working and wondering how the hell both the amp and sub were fried (which is possible if the old amp was not connected properly and ruined the sub as well) so i took my old sub out of its enclosure (alpine type-r) and reviewed the jumpers. Turns out one of the jumpers was a TINY bit out. Pushed it in and it worked.

Thank you for everyones help and suggestions. I appreciate it. Sorry to have wasted your time.
