mastax Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I was riding down the road and my friend saw a spark come out of one side of my amp. the side it sparked - there are only 4 wires: power wire, ground, remote and bass control knob cable. so im guessing from my power or ground. i wasnt even listening to music loud at all, maybe 10/64 volume and im tuned at 32/64. so now my amp stays on and wont shut off and it doesnt appear to be working since my subs arent cutting on. maybe a fuse is the problem? but i dont understand why it sparked all the sudden? and why it wont shut off when i turn my truck off? and primarily why is my amp not working? what are all the possibilities? and no i did not wire my remote to a constant volt. if a fuse is blown would it still cut on? but i dont understand why it wont shut off. ive had it for couple years and never had an issue and this happens all the sudden.. Any help would be appreciated. thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max1636 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Sounds like your fixed positive line has jumped across to your remote line. The remote input on the amp is constantly seeing voltage keeping the amp on. The spark could have been from positive touching ground for a moment.

mastax Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah thats what i thought but none of the wires are touching each other. ive masked them where there is no way they can touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvr2loud Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Don't know if you have disconnected the power wire & remote wire from the amp yet but you can possibly try to disconnect those two wires & reconnect them to see if that fixes the problem.
