Why won't my amp cut off? and why does it not work?

[mastax]

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!

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.

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.

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.

Yeah im gonna try that tomorrow and see what happens.. it just seems rare for something like this to happen and i dont really understand it. or to be exact, i dont understand the spark or why it happened

Does anybody have any suggestions please? i dont mean to bump this up but i really need help.

thanks in advance
