ummm, I think you might of made yourself look like a fool trying to showoff ( I know I would) and maybe your sub is blown. push down on your sub. tell us how it sounds like and how it feels. no hard feelings, I was just being sarcastic.

Is the amp turning on? there should be a power light some where on the amp look for it and see if it is on. If its on then the amp is getting power, or you could use a meter to check for power at the end of the power cable.

haha hey man she asked to hear ; )
but yea i felt like an idot
and no its not blown as far as i can tell, i already checked and it was fine
the amp power light is not coming on which is why i said i beleived that was the issue...
i did find that the fuse casing on the power wire in the engine bay was cracked but the fuse was still intact, im not sure if this has anything to do with it?

ok first check the remote wire, if thats not hooked up it wont work, next check your rcas, if that doesnt work then your amp is out

Doesn't hurt to replace the fuse. I had the same issue but Phempa came to my rescue and said I needed a new fuse. It looked find but for some reason wasn't functioning. If that still doesn't work than it might be the amp itself.

[DeluxeLx202]

alright i have checked the remote wires and rca wire and puled the head unit out to make sure it was all correct and i still have no luck....
i will try the fuse if i have an extra

You might also want to check and see if there is anything wrong with the ground wire aswell.

[jhondayaaj]

ground wire as posted above x's2. and check remote wire with a test light or volt meter to see if you have 12 volts. also the power wire. maybe your fuse on the power wire is blown.

[GSteg]

Take a multimeter and place one probe before the fuse holder, and one after it. If you're not getting 12v+, your fuse is dead, regardless if the fuse is physically broken or not.

Or just replace the fuse and find out for yourself.

if your power wire and ground are good, the easiest way to make sure your amp even works is to cross a wire from the power to the remote, this will allow the amp to turn on w/o requiring any signal from the deck.....if the amp turns on, re-route and rewire your remote wire, if your amp doesnt turn on, the PS in your amp is blown

[Robbie9004]

i was having the same problem for awhile and came to find out the wire running to the sub from the amp had so minor cuts that stopped allowing the sub to bump maybe try replacing wires there if not that yeah it could be blown form the sounds i unno what is the brand of the sub???

[DeluxeLx202]

alright its workin now...
i took it in today and it turns out the remote wire had a slight burn in it and when he pulled it it straight tore in half....
i guess i didnt check it good enough cuz i didnt see that at all : /
o well the guy didnt charge me except i got the "leave it to the professionals speech" but he was cool so i didnt care much
thanks for the help
