Thursday, June 16, 2011 - 04:58 GMT Spent the entire day installing my speakers in my car and hooking up the amp and stuff.. Well once i had it all finished the amp wasn't receiving power and the green light wasn't coming on. So what are some things i should check to get this fixed? (i'm pretty sure my ground is good, but i may try some different places if nothing else works.)

Thursday, June 16, 2011 - 05:53 GMT 1. Check REM Cable: Make sure it is connected to a "Switched" power supply. 2. Check Inline & Amplifier Fuses: Make sure no fuses have blown or are damaged. 3. Check Power Cable: Make sure all connections are tight and secure and that there are no exposed wires. 4. Check Negative Cable: Make sure it has a solid connection to bare metal.
