Amp trouble

[CooperVTR]

I was sorting out my boot earlier and disconnectd the sub and amps. once all where disconnected the power cable and the earth cable touched blowing the fuse for the stereo this is now replaced and the amp all wired back up but there is no power getting to the amp. Any ideas why? (amp worked fine before)

[lews123]

u chekd the fuse up front in the engine bay?

[CooperVTR]

i've checked all fuses, its really got me stumped!

[CooperVTR]

Bump:y:

[Predator_R32]

fuses on the amp and headunit too??

get a multi meter on the power cable and remote wire to see if your getting any power through them first

[CooperVTR]

fuses on the amp and headunit are fine.

[Predator_R32]

you tested the remote and power wires??

[liam_b]

umm you sed it blown the fuse for the stereo witch fuse do you mean the one on the head unit? or under the dash?

[CooperVTR]

Borrowed a multi meter of a mate, will test them today pred.

umm you sed it blown the fuse for the stereo witch fuse do you mean the one on the head unit? or under the dash?
it was the one under the dash, but all fuses have been checked and are now fine!

[liam_b]

ummm i dont get how it would of blow the fuse under the dash cos if the amps power lead touches the ground it should of blown the fuse in the power lead you sure it didnt touch the rca or remote?

[CooperVTR]

Just to let you know it was the power lead that was fooked. i was only getting about .80 volts through it. whereas the remote was getting over 12V will be changing that asap! just put new subs in aswell!!:panic: will get to test 'em 2moro! cheers for all comments guys!

[Predator_R32]

ahhh right, multimeter came in handy then :)

you mad sure the cable was connected into the fuse holder as mine came out before, worth a look before you rip it out

[CooperVTR]

yeah defo mate. waited for it to stop raining first! had to do it on my lunch at work :p cheers mate

[Predator_R32]

not a problem hopes it just the wire or the fuse then, what gauge are you running and how many amps ??

[CooperVTR]

not 100% sure it was already in the car when i bought it.just had to put my sub in.

[Predator_R32]

ah well then would be best to just replace it with some 4 gauge, wont cost that much tbh

[CooperVTR]

yeah i will, i want to hear to what these subs sound like!

[CooperVTR]

Changed my power cable today and all is working well! the subs sound awesome!

[Predator_R32]

good to hear that mate :y:

[CooperVTR]

had those subs for 3 days now and i've only just been able to hear them. was well frustrating having them sat in the boot not bein able to listen to them!

[Jamie89]

Glad to hear that you have got everything working now! What sub's have you not got by the way?

[CooperVTR]

i've 2 JBL GT4-12 1000w

[Jamie89]

Same as I got then, but just got the 1 as I sold the other to a friend! Sound good?

[CooperVTR]
