Question about why my amp doesn't have power.


Recommended Posts

Ok, so I finally got a subwoofer and a box, and started hooking it up last night. I had everything hooked up right, but my Amp had no power. I figured that I might have a bad amp, so I tried a 1000 Watt. Nothing again. So I tried my 120 Watt Amp that has never been hooked up or anything, and it didn't have power either. WTF? My 12V wire Fuse is fine, it is all hooked up right and everything, and I highly doubt that all 3 amps are broken. Any ideas?

Time to invest in a volt meter. Something isn't getting power. Positive your remote wire is good? Tried a jumper wire from battery pos to remote? Ground touch bare metal with good contact?

My dad bought a volt meter today, and we hooked the Remote wire up correctly, and all of that wiring is fairly new, and my wiring kit was bought yesterday. Our ground is on bare metal.

I hate to ask, but was the car on?

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt

KK lol I figured I'd start at square one. I put in a new headunit for my friend and he tried to play his iPod on it and was like "wtf it doesn't work? you messed it up!" and I was like "turn the car on..."

did u hook the remote wire to the right wires? cuz my remote wire is blue and i hooked it up to the blue wire coming out of my h/u thinking it was the remote hook up... but instead the blue/white wire was the remote wire.... so u should check that.... i know fail...

lmfao wow, I guess some people really don't understand simple stuff like that I guess. Yeah, my step brother hooked that up because I didn't know where it was, he called his friend that works as a professional car audio installer and his friend told him where to hook it up to. I'm sure its hooked up good, but I will make sure.
