bass lowers intermittently...
i've had my set up since i purchased my car in 91. just recently, i've been noticing that the bass of my sub lowers itslef intermittently. it doesn't go away completely but i need to push the gain up for it to sound the way i like it. then after a couple of minutes, it goes loud again so i need to adjust the gain to lower the sub volume. i have an mtx amp with one of those remote controls to be able to control the volume of the sub. and have a jl 12 inch sub.
note: the bass doesn't go away completely, the volume of the sub just gets lower. so, i'm almost positive it's not a connection issue. could my amp be going bad? or do i need a cap cuz maybe the alternator can't keep up with the amount of power the amp requires? suggestions, comments, plz.

I had a problem with my step down, where it was causing the same problem.. I just added a different headunit so I never dug into the root cause of the problem..

Check your ground. Check your charging system, change your head unit if nessasary. Amp outpul fluxuation will be due to available voltage or signal. Voltage can be effected by charging/alternator and also the continuity of your ground....(your power is only as good as what your ground is able to take)
