shrtfuze Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 im havign some problems getting power to my amp. The situation is i replaced my old wiring the power and ground and remote. the remote wire stayed in the same spot nothing changed but the power cables went to 1/0. So i set my fuses up and ran the wires back to my amp. the power like flashed on for half a second and then its gone. Any ideas on why there is no power going through the 12 volt cable system hifonis brutus amp 2 FI 12's Quote
dmanson Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 do you have the amp wired in at a 1 ohm load?

Guest SyKo13 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Ummmmmmm, I think you burnt your stuff if yousay power surged for half a sec then quit.... Quote
pstone11 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 You're saying that now there is no power coming from your 1/0 cable from the battery to the amp?? If that's the case, it can only be your fuse, ground, or battery if you ran them straight through. If everything else still works, like your deck and the rest of your car, eliminate the battery. That leaves fuse, bad ground, or a bad power connection.... That's all I got. Quote Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page!

shrtfuze Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Posted January 10, 2007 well the amps not fried, like is there a possibility te amp wont come on due to a pinch in the remoite wire and if that has happened can i replace the remote wie with like any type of wire of does it have to be of a special kind Quote
pstone11 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 any standard wire is good - just put a little jumper from your remote terminal on the amp to the power terminal on the amp, and see if it comes on. If it does, then your remote wire is the problem, replace it. Quote Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page!

andym85 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 wire is wire is wire...aside from strand count and such all wire is the same more or less. doesnt matter what color the jacket on the wire is, its still the same inside. as long as u use about the same gauge for the remote wire then your fine. its gotta be: 1. power cable and fuses 2. bad ground 3. bad remote wire 4. bad amp/fuses in amp 5. low voltage (doesnt seem right in your case though) ...now start troubleshooting Quote i likes me some audio stuff...
bassmachine Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 has anyone seen a 8 gauge remote wire Quote Windows Xp1 40 & 120gigHDDMSI BoardUNDERCONSTRUCTION Dr. Doom aka StarScream3kDestruction at ur service
