Hey guys, so wednesday i put new subwoofers in my jeep. I have two 12'' subs witha 1000w amp. After wednesday i havent driven it because i got really sick and ive been bed ridden for the past 3 days. Tonight i went to drive home my girl and my jeep was completley dead. It wouldnt do anything. i tried jumping it and only the interior lights would come on but it wouldnt start or turn over at all, whats going on!?

Could be bunch of different things, #1 is to go get you battery checked. Batteries could go bad overnight from a bad cell.

Sounds like dead battery. Maybe amp is not turning off with radio?

You have a trigger wire that hooks to the blue wire on your head unit. That turns amp on and off with radio. If you wired that direct. Amp would be on all the time and drain your battery.

The radio wire is all good, The amp shuts off with the jeep itself.
