All worked great!

explain how you have everything wired up. all the amps etc

edit: make sure you dont have any touching + - speaker leads. thats what happened to my car, i had a strand touching the + and it would cut out all my speakers after a certain volume.

0g wire from battery to distribution block in the trunk (200amp fuse)

0g wire from good ground to the trunk

4g wire from the positive and negative dist. blocks to the DAT 4125..

4g wire from the positive and negative dist. blocks to the capacitor, then 8g wire from the capacitor to the pioneer amp..

16g wire from the DAT to the front speakers and the rear speakers

12g wire from the pioneer amp to the infinity sub

And i have the remote wire coming from the Alpine 9886, and it splits off into each amp.

For all i know something is crossed or disconnected.. i tried to avoid it.. but $%^t happens..

But yeah.. that basically sums it up, haha

If the sub is working, my guess would be a blown fuse on your mids/highs amp or the fuse on the power lead that feeds the mids/highs amp. First thing I'd do is check voltage at the amp, if you're getting voltage then a blown fuse probably isn't the issue. If you don't get any voltage, check the fuse on the main power lead that feeds the amp. If that's blown then it's very likely it's grounding out somewhere so you'd need to follow the wire all the way back to see where.

That's where I'd start. Good luck man

...Whoa. You gave them a call at 1:30AM (Ohio on Eastern time? then 2:30) and a person picked up the phone and helped you!?

That's beyond excellent CS! More companies should be like that!

BACK ON TOPIC (sorrrrry =[ )

I would check check check all the wiring, maybe you oopsed something like you suggested as well as checking fuses. Failing that, could it maybe be an issue on the input end of the amp? Maybe it's getting a signal that somehow is causing the amp to freak out? Forgive me if it's a dumb idea; it's late, I'm hot and tired lol.

Best of luck to ya and keep us posted!

Too many projects, too little time...

Okay, well i finally got out there this morning..

Removed the pioneer amp and infinity sub and capacitor..

replaced the 4gauge wire from the dist blocks to the DAT with 8gauge wire.

Cleaned up allot of the connections so there was no chance of wires touching..

Still diddnt work.....

Figured i would pull the fuses, one came out normal... i pulled the other one out, and first the plastic came off the metal..

Then the rest of the fuse came out in 4 pieces..

Apparently it was just a faulty fuse, but its all fixed now =]. I will put the sub back in when i get all the filters set the way i want them, will prob just make things easier.

But once again EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!... called them at 11:30 Cali time, 2:30 my time.. David was quick to answer all my questions for me

Thanks for everything guys!

now my only problem is that i bought ten feet of 4gauge i have no use for.. and i need more 8 gauge.. haha.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
