Silver Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 892 Registered: Nov-04 | Hey Mark, when you say the amp stays on, does it have red or green light? Did you fix the grounding problem properly? Check the fuses on the amp. Most of them have 2 that you can see. Check the fuses near the battery. Does the amp turn on when the radio is on? Re-check all wires/cables. Make sure the speakers are connected to the amp, take one of the amp's rca input cables and touch the end with your finger. That should trigger some humming noise, check both channels this way. If you hear that then the amp is fine. If however, you don't hear anything, then you might have amp problem. You might also want to check your speakers. Sometimes a bad pop can blow them out. |

Unregistered guest | Mark I had the exact same thing happen two days ago. i just installed the amp, was working great, shut the car off for a few min, turned it back on, amp made a noise through the speaker, and now wont come on- but the green light IS on. I have tried everything, its maddening. Cannot imagine what is wrong. Please, please post or e-mail me if you make any progress. jason (rao@tmo.blackberry.net) |
