chewie Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 is the protect light on the amp on? are there any lights on? if it is goin into protect dissconnect the speakers and then try turnin the amp on. do you have acess to a multi meter? check the voice coils on the speakers.. if the amp comes on. and isnt in protect. hook up the multimeter to the outputs. set the meter to ac volts. and play a song.. see if you get anything coming out... also trace back your rca cables and remote wire.. make sure they arent cut anywhere along the way.

chewie Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 if your too lazy to take the woofers out of the box.. just apply a short burst of dc power to the speaker wires to see if they move or react.. a square nine volt will suffice.. just tap it for a quick second. DO not leave the leads on the battery.. (this is purely to see if the woofer still works ) (only do this if you dont have a digital multi meter) Quote 91 dodge colt gt.. 4 custom t600 15s audioque 3500d.1 tuned to 25 hz... stay tuned. blazer stroker 15 brutus bxi2006d terrible voltage drop 145.4@38HZ...
