savageracer Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Is the amp new or was it used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty959 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) An easy way to see if your power wire is shorting somewhere is to unhook the power wire from everything, and check the resistance using a multimeter ground or chassis, either would work. If the multimeter shows a resistance, there is a short. If it does nothing different than before you hooked it, you are fine. But, I don't think a short in the power wire is the problem. If it was, the inline fuse would be popping not the amp fusing. If a fuse blows, something on the other side of it is pulling too much power for the fuse. Therefore, id have to say there is a good chance the amp is blown.

mrafrica Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 are there any little wire pieces from the positive wire touching anything on the amp? that might be it. unhook the remote wire and see if it does it still. maybe the headunit is sending a negative signal thru the wire. Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.

anti.commander Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 check to make sure the the pos and neg wires are on the correct terminals of the amp. I accidentally did that and had the same problem. Stumped me for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 2 possibilities. Either the amp is fucked or you're sticking the positive wire in the ground terminal of the amp and the ground wire in the positive, which will instantly pop all the fuses, as mentioned above.

Beckett Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 i would just take the wiring completely out, and absolutely make sure your wire it in correctly, jus so you know that it is definately not happening becuase of the wiring being wired up wrong! i know it's an annoying thort of having to re-do the whole wiring but it is so easy to make the smallest mistake and not realise, i've done it once or twice in the past. and jus making sure the wiring was correct i solved a few problems i had hope this helps man Quote JS Fraser *Alpine Typr-R 12" *JBL GTO 1200.1 Sub Amp *Alpine PDX-4.100 *Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5's *Rockford Fosgate Fanatics 6.5's Both in front doors *0/1 Guage wiring from front Junction Boxes to 120AH Battery In Boot (battery removed because too small for alternator) *140 Amp HO Alternator *Alpine Head Unit -------------------------------------------------------------------------x------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
