Subs not working

So here is the thing. My subs stopped working completely. There is power to the amp and it is connected properly

My front speakers are working but when I turn the volume down it stops playing or "struggles" to play. It seems as if not enough power is getting to the amps

Well my cap has a battery meter on it and its currently reading 5.9-6.0V

I have a second battery in the trunk running my stereo setup connected to the primary battery via some sort of connector - the name of it escapes me at the moment

Could it be that the battery is not fully charged? Should I just get the battery charged? My trickle charger is in Canada and I have a friend bringing it to me here in Chicago next week

Just looking at my options now. Thanks

do you have a battery isolator in the rear battery ? cause your voltage is way too low and may not be forming correctly

Yes I believe it's called a battery isolator. It's currently under my hood

I think the battery is not charging correctly. As a quick fix, I'll get a trickle charger and bring it back up to proper voltage

When I'm back in Toronto I'll get it looked at properly

Yes so I'll charge the battery first and then if that doesn't work then I'll look at the isolator

Nice avatar btw
