kiko Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hello fellow bassheads, I need help finding out what is my problem with my amp and subwoofer system. i have the system hooked up for approximately 1 yr and 1/2 now and it recently gave me some problems. A few days ago i notice that i wasnt thumping anymore so i checked up on it and it was not playing. So i first check the hardware (Hifonic brutus 1100watt & 2 sundown e8v2). All hardware work and then i refer to the troubleshooting process on the manufactures manual and did the remote power test (used a wire to link the 12v power to the remote wire) and it worked. So i figured i had some loose ends on the remote wire side. My remote wire is wired to the cigarette lighter 12v plug. So i proceed to checking the fuse and it was not burnt (changed it to a brand new fuse anyways). Still didnt work, Then i did a straight linked from the cig lighter to the remote terminal. and it still doesnt work. So now im clueless of why it doesnt work!?!? (keep in mind the linking the power terminal to the remote terminal works) If anyone has any ideas of whats the problem let me know.. PLEASE!! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Put meter on remote... (im sure you will find it dead) Its seems as though, that wire has a "air gap" in it some where... Run new remote from turn on hot..... Enjoy music. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do-LowHrzHurts Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I would do a resistance test on the remote wire to see if it may have a break or got roasted some how from getting pinched. Re-run remote wire if needed.

rockFord_Expedition Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It;s either the power source for the remote wire or the wire itself. OP could trace the problem if he wanted to, but in the end he will still need to remedy the situation. Or, he could just remedy it to begin with.

kiko Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Tested the power source.(the cigarette plug) (how i know its working is the fuse blew). At first i figured it might have been pinched or messed up so i re-ran another wire to the remote terminal to test it and I still got nothing. But the Blue LED accenting is on indicating it works but its a very dimmed blue (like no juice).. I will try and re-splice and rerun the whole remote wire as soon as i get the chance tommorrow. Hope it works! THANKS FOR YOUR INPUTS GUYS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
