haoleslaya Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 im new to car audio, specifically setting up subwoofers and amps. ive had my system, a alpine type r12 and alpine mrpm500, for about two weeks and its been running pretty smooth for about two weeks until yesterday and then the amp quit running. i turned my car off and then back on and the light for the amp came on and then it faded off and it wasnt powering the sub at all. now its not even lighting up when i turn my car on and today i replaced my remote wire and now i dont know what to check. the ground is on metal that has not paint and the power cable is a 4guage kicker cable. what do you guys recommend me doing to try to fix this? i would appreciate any help.

Rebel4055 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Sounds like the amp died. What were your gains and such set at? Quote Rest In Peace mother.

Just because he has a system doesn't mean he knows I'll be waiting. Take pictures if you can. Edited November 19, 2010 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.

techforce Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 And you are SURE that all connections are secure? Does it have a protection light and does it come on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the amp wasn't maxed out so I would check some connections. Also does your power line have a fuse? Edited November 19, 2010 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.
