New amp?

Unless you are currently using the cigarette lighter you honestly can't say for sure it has voltage. You could have blown the fuse to it or it could be bad. Why not just run it from your stereo?

Current system:Front stage: Alpine type s 6.5No rear:Alpine type s 6.5headunit: alpineAmp: Jbl bp600.1

Sub: Alpine type x 12

dont know much about them. Found a "FLUX" Capacitor on ebay. If I add this to my system, can I really travel into the future? And how far into the future? That probably all depends on how I ground it though, right?

Dude dont even waste your money on capacitors get a second car battery preferably a kinetik or stinger or any other car audio battery use the battery that is correct for your systems true rms wattage do some research on the net for this. Go to kinetiks website they explain how to pick a battery from thier site that fits your system. :shrug:

im running it from the cig lighter fuse. and yes i have checked voltage and it is receiving 12 volts. I just checked it again and i think my main fuse is blown. don't know how but i know i have 12v on my battery and when i take the fuse housing apart for my 4gague power wire and check voltage to ground with that i have 0. No i don't have a DMM on my right now but i will have one tomorrow at work when every one leaves lol. So now it looks like just a blown fuse. And i was able to check voltage with a Stinger Volt meter i had laying around.

Stinger volt meter = EPIC FAIL for use as a tool for checking voltage. Its only as accurate as the DMM that checked the voltage and then set the stinger gauge to THAT voltage. That gauge is a POS.. so thats fail # 1....

I think the best thing to do at this point is take a few detailed pics of your wiring (which is more then likely a messy bunch of misc wires ran all over the place) and maybe we can help you find your current issue before you purchase a new amp and have the possible chance of the same issue again.... that would be fail #2..

I love my staffie :good:

So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny

It may be a pos but it is enough to see if I have voltage with out having a real dmm. Now my wiring is a mess right now I know this I'm in the process of re-wiring it. Now as I said I will have a non disputable answer tomorrow after work when I can use a dmm. So I know how I have been testing with a stinger volt meter but it's all I have and can at least tell me if I have voltage or not. So I will update tomorrow.

do you know anyone else with a system that you can just throw your amp on there wires so you can do a quick trouble shoot

lots of deadner

type r comps front stage

6 kicker tweets rear stage

lots of great stuff

coming soon

more bats

ct comps for front stage

more deadner

sweet amp rack

lots of L.E.D lights

Don't replace the fuse until you figure out why it blew to begin with

i really think the internals of the amp are broke or fried. like the power and ground are touching on the inside. either way get it out!
