haha...similar story, different hobby...after a year of being away in Korea, I came back to Canada for a vacation last week. I got my car out of hibernation, grabbed my sub and amp from the attic, lugged it down, hooked it up, cranked the stereo andddd....NOTHING. Checked the amp, it was getting power, all the other speakers were putting out sound fine, set up the head unit again (high pass, low pass, etc filters, sub output, and so on)...everything's great. Not a peep out of the sub.
Check the wires from the amp to the sub, cut them, re-trim the ends (just in case), nothing. Grab the drill, take the sub out of the box to check to see if maybe the wires had come loose, they're all good. Take the sub down to the nearest audio shop to test it...pounds on their bench. Scratch head. Go to car. Realize the whole time I forgot to plug the audio RCAs into the amp from the head unit. There's an hour of my life I'll never get back
Reminds me of a story a co-worker told me once. He had a dirt bike which suddenly started running rough. It would die, he'd start it again and it would die again. So he spent quite a lot of time messing with the fuel lines and carburetor and wasn't finding anything really wrong. Eventually, it dawned on to him to see if he had any gas in the thing. He didn't. He had just run out of gas and that was the problem all along. He said he felt like an idiot.
Sometimes, the brain starts its thought process off on the wrong foot, so to speak.
