Mellow18 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) well i was driving and my amp just cuts off..i didnt hear no wierd noises and it didnt smell burnt..and there was no smoke... no power or protection light turns on..wat does this mean? no wires were out or loose. no fuses broke. RCA are fine.i tried connecting the RCA from my highs to my bass.switched from the head unit as well.still nothing the amp for my highs still turns on (protection light turns on (red) then shortly the power light turns on (blue) dont know if thats normal. they are connected to the same ground/power/remote i looked in the back of my head unit and the remote is connected to the (blue) wire with a (white) stripe.the blue wire with a white stripe has (2) blue remote wires connected to it..is that normal? ive tried to reconnect the remote..and unhook the speaker wires.. disconnected everything and reconnected and still nothing..

Boon Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Does the sub amp have a seperate fuse? Check the fuses individually with a multimeter - they can be bad and still look fine. Otherwise it sounds like the amp may be stuffed ;/ Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym85 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 i would check all the fuses with a dmm... then maybe jump the remote wire straight to the battery to make sure it isnt loose in the headunit's wiring harness somewhere. then double check the power and ground wire... if all that checks out and you still arent gettin power..then u could be screwed.

goingdef Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 all three speakers on the same amp if so I'm amazed the lower end one has not cooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 How did you have the subs wired? If they were all paralleled then that's a 0.8 ohm load. And if the amp was bridged, being a 2 channel, it would be seeing 0.4 ohms per channel. I would call that abusing the amp, and I would say inside it's gonna be smokey smokey MOSFET.
