subwoofers just stopped working?

Gene, I have had nothing but trouble with those glass fuses. They can sometimes 'break' inside even if you don't blow it. One of my clients ran one of those and after about a month the fuse would take 16 volts in (don't know how, but w.e.) and spit a whopping three volts out. Try replacing the fuse and see what happens, or better yet, spring for an ANL holder and fuse.

But its not that im not getting power, its that everytime i turn my music on my amp turns into protect mode... All the wires and eveything are fine, ive quadruple checked it all. Im thinking the amp just took a shit on me.

that could be a bad ground i had the same problem before. if your ground is vibrating it can cause arcing which will cause the amp to go into protection mode. i can pick up the pictures cause the stupid school filtering system. but if your ground in bolted to a painted surface it can also cause arcing. take some sandpaper and scratch the paint off. or if your ground is just screwed into the body itself. the screw could be coming loose and causing that. take like two or three self drilling screws and fasten it down tight. set the screws in a triangle pattern to minimize the vibration getting to the ground.

grounds are common problems with stuff like that. but be careful a bad ground can start melting stuff in your car or worse start a fire.

i dont know you exact problem again cause i cant see the pictures or how its wired. but i hope this helped. usually if you had a person from best buy or whatever installed it they wont sell you an amp that will destroy your subs. let alone they probly dont even have them strong enough to do any real damage.

yeah i agree. glass fuses are trouble. ive always been content with a good blade fuse. they re pretty tough to the elements but are still a good way to protect your amp from power surges and shorts

I am still guessing it is a bad ground. They make your amp go into protect mode. If you absolutley think your ground is good tear your amp apart and look at it. make sure everything is intact and not fried or black. make sure solder points are good.Look at power and ground spots inside and make sure they are all intact. everything can be ok with the wires and sub and you could have a problem inside your amplifier.

^ To add on to what Ben Gay said, take pics of the guts as well. A lot of knowledgeable people on here and they might be able to notice things in the pics.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT DO THIS! Get the correct size BOLT not a stupid screw. They're people on here who have had nightmares because a "professional" shop installed his ground using 3 screws LMAO how hard is it to take the time and money to properly wire up an amp? Why risk starting a car fire?

Well I went and unscrewed the grounded wire, and its fine. I resanded the surface area and everything. Went to turn on my music and hooray still no damn music.

hate to burst your bubble, but i've owned 5 visonik amps. every one of them died with the protect light on and never came alive again. (i didnt pay for 5, they kept sending me new ones)
