amp sub fitting help

[redsaxored]

hey i have a sub and aquired an amp today, but cant seem to get it working, i have run a lead from the battery.. and the rem and input things from the headunit and have plugged them in etc.. but cant seem to get power to the amp. where is a good place to earth it aswell becuase i was wondering if this would affect it? any help would be nice. thanks guys.

mine is earthed where the rear bolt is connected to the body work if you know what i mean!!!

earth is almost always the problem in ice.

i earthed it on the rear seat screw, on the passenger side.

remember to upgrade the earth to battery aswell (use cable with same thickness to do that, simply from battery to first screw)

under the rear seat belt bolt is a good place sir. take you have a red light on the amp at the mo?

had the same problem with mine not earthing and all i got was a dam red light on me amp (yeah i know its a nice place to go) anyway back to the subject in hand after finding the best earth place (seat belt bolt) it went green and i was out of the red zone. smileys/smiley16.gif

you mean you dont have an earth connected?

If yes than yes thats your problem

i had mine earthed to the bolt for the bottom bit of the boot locking
mechanism, worked pretty well there but could get in the way i suppose

well i mean the power is definately working, my dad used a voltmeter to see this, and he also found a good place to earth the thing, this was however by just touching it against the boot locking bit. but i dont ever have any light on the sub.. not even a red one? i asume therefore its something wrong with the amp!

i earther mine to the boot locking mechanism and never had any problems as of yet! thats 3 amps being earthed to that one location..works a treat and easy to get at

check the fuse on the amp and also the fuse on the end of your battery live wire could have blown em.
