AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 pull it back out and remove the meter and see if the hu comes back out, then post back.

Sanitarium Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 did you check all your fuses? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Sounds like you grounded a power wire out and then possible blew a fuse or you have a loose connection.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 There is only three wires that make a hu work, 12V constant(usually yellow), ignition(usually red), and ground(always black). You messed with two of the three and then it quit working, that is where I would start....LOL Quote TEAM SOUNDQUBED -- TEAM SOUTH TEAM S.O.B. - Founder & Captain 3x Streetbeat World Record Holder 2017 MWSPL 1st place Mayhem & 4th Xtreme 4 2016 MWSPL 1st place Mayhem/2nd Adv 4/2nd Xtreme 4 2015 MWSPL 2nd place Mayhem & 4th Xtreme 4 2014 USACI 2nd place Streetbeat 5 - 162.6 db 2014 MWSPL 2nd place Xtreme 4 - 144.9 db 2013 USACI 1st place Streetbeat 4 - 161.9 db 2013 USACI 1st place Street Q+ - 162.8 db 2013 MWSPL 3rd Kaos2 & 4th Xtreme 4 2011 USACI 2nd place MOD 1001-2k - 160.0 db 2011 MWSPL 4th place: Adv3 - 157.8 db, Kaos2 - 150s db, Xtreme4 - 140s db 2010 ARSPL 1st place 501-750 - 160.3 db Arkansas loudest Best score to date 164.4 db - Termlab Outlaw Streetbeat 4 - 161.9 db Streetbeat 5 - 162.6 db MWSPL on Dash Legal door open (Music) - 162.5 db Sealed on dash Legal (Music) - 161.1 db - Termlab THE BLACK NASTY CURRENT BUILD & FAB The Black Nasty (6) 15 Rebuild Log 2012 (4) 15 Walled Sierra Build Log Evo X build log Facebook page The Black Nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
