Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 293 Registered: Jun-06 | Ok, well when I started my SUV today, my amp didn't power on. First thing I did was check my REM to make sure it was still connected. Still was... Next I checked my fuses on the amp, fuse box, and under the hood. None were blown. Is it possible that my amp could have blown? |

Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 295 Registered: Jun-06 | Well it was working fine all day yesterday, I don't mess with the gains or anything and its at about 1/3. Grrr...my amp is so frustrating! It's not like anything has changed within the past 24 hours of me using it! |

Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 852 Registered: Apr-06 | so ur rem wire is still connected into the amp? are u sure the rem wire is connected at the other end? in your HU, or in ur fuse box? check that. then if you have somethin to test the power, make sure ur getting power on the amps end of the power wire. make sure ur ground is secure. |
Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 772 Registered: Mar-06 | If you have this many problems, you should invest in a multi meter. Find out if the amp has power goining to it and if the rem is ok. aslo recheck all wiring. |
Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 318 Registered: Jun-06 | ^^^lol, ya I should. My REM is connected into the fuse box. I don't know how to connect it from the HU but, i'd like to know how. Ive connected the REM to a couple different fuses and it still didn't turn on so it can't be that. My ground is still secure also. I made sure. I think overall I might just switch to a SoundStream amp for my subs and then get another SoundStream amp for my speakers. I just wish I knew what the heck is wrong with my amp! |
Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 896 Registered: Apr-06 | lol what about the inline fuse? sure thats not blown? |
Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 321 Registered: Jun-06 | Yup, 100% positive. Checked ever fuse in my d@mn SUV |
Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 903 Registered: Apr-06 | well ull need to get a new amp then. or maybe try testing it on another car, redoin the wires on another vehicle. |
Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 324 Registered: Jun-06 | Well, i'll just open it up tomarrow and see if I can find any fried parts or something. |
Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 333 Registered: Jun-06 | Nope, nothing is fried or anything. Stupid amp. Anyone know where I can get one of those power tester thingys that let you see if theres current going throught the wires at a cheap price? |
