Anonymous	Posted on Tuesday, May 11, 2004 - 04:58 GMT You said Fuse box, you don't mean your car's fuse box, do you? I hope you ran a separate wire. Anyway, Sounds like a bad amp, but I'd double check the remote wire just in case.
Patrick Lorenz Bronze Member Username: Pat_l Tucson, AZ USA Post Number: 85 Registered: Apr-04	Posted on Tuesday, May 11, 2004 - 05:55 GMT Yeah if the light doesnt turn on and you have giggled every possible wire than the amp is bad. Take it in to get it fixed.

Now all i need to do is find a decent ICE specialist in my area (easier said than done) If i was to replace it - is a JBL GTO 6000 a good amp to get? Have one on offer over here for £100 Thanks to all that posted
