00_XJ Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm new to this, like this is the second system I have installed new, and today I installed my amp. Cranked the truck up, nothing. So I checked all my wires and they were all hooked up correctly (I think), nothing was loose. Well I got the meter out and hooked it up to the amp ground and power terminals and it's reading 14.05. Please let me know what could be wrong, blown fuse? Something else? Am I not metering it right? Anything at all. Thanks.

Coolwazabi Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 everything sounds to be correct... did you install the remote wire ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00_XJ Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 everything sounds to be correct... did you install the remote wire ? Yep, and wouldn't the power light still come on even if it wasn't installed, it just wouldn't go off? Maybe I'm wrong.

jayjay6888 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 no the power light would turn on without the remote wire.... b/c if you turn you head unit off and then look back at your amp it will be off so double check your remote Quote 1 Fi Sp4 18 Crescendo 2k selenium mids audioque supertweets Hifonics for mids and and highs 1/0 power and grounds ---> on the way singer alt and possibly another 2k depending how sub likes 1 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
