kk im pretty sure it is my amp but i got a few questions b4 i bring it back. could bad wires like REM wire or the power wire make the amp come on but no sound to the subs. or could any of the wires be touching(speaker wires) not make any subs work? Note I Reinstalled All the wireing but the power wire since i only have one of them could it be the power wire? I bought a 1400watt amp wireing kit. but i had to cut the wire to add the fuse holder(the kit said so) could there be a bad cut? or should I just bring the amp back and get a new one? but this amp i got now is only 11 days old and the subs DID work for 20 min and i moved the seat down and they stoped again. The could there be a bad fuse? There not blown but one could be a faulty one

sooooo they were playin then u adjusted ur seat then they stopped???is there any wire whatsoever near the seat u moved??? if so u could have grounded out something, did u check the fuses, i say take the amp back get a new one hook it up and see if it will work if not, save up about 60 bucks and go have a stereo shop install it, can u take pics of everything maybe we can spot a problem, did u adjust anything on the stereo??

its pretty simple
power wire-from battery to amp with inline fuse at teh battery side
ground-from chassis or seat bolt that has been grinded to metal
remote wire-from amp to winshield wiper fuse in fuse box
rca cable-from amp to stereo
speaker wire- from amp to plug on speaker box


if its not grounded or the remote wire hooked up the amp will not turn on at all

have u tried different rca outputs on the cd player???

are u makin sure the speaker wire is positve to positive and negative to negative

turn the adjustments on teh amp all teh way down and start from there

kk ima go take a few pics brb

[Timmano]

here are a few pics it is pissing down rain so i took them fast.





















dont mind the messy wires im in the process

[whiteboycustom]

what is the remote wire hooked up to???

and the ground...did u grind away the paint???

maybe u should just take the amp back

which subs are those??? do u have a model number on them

[Timmano]

better yet here is a pinoeer link

yea REM wire is on REM and the ground is on the metal itself as seen in the 3rd pic.

wait wait wait, REM wire comes from the car or the deck? lol? im prety sure it is from the deck.

with the many of stereos ive never used the remote wire on the cd player for my amp, i always found a fuse to slide the wire in, maybe wrong but it awlays worked for me haha

i take it thats the amp u bought???

that might be to much amp for those subs

that link to the subs u sent me those subs are 800w max and 150rms....way less then that amp puts out

lets start over does the amp light up 1st 2ndif no check power across neg to + and neg to rem with stero onsee what you got sounds to me like you pinched the remote wire that goes up front if its hooked to a fuse change it if it goes to deck your screwed you will have to hook it to fuse

ur ground isn't secure.

mine was loose and when the subs would give enough of a push it would loosen and cut the boom.

My amp would turn on, and stay on cause of the loose connection. For a week i had to make sure it turned off with the car because if it wasn't tight enough it would

[Timmano]

not i put a brand new ground wire and tighin everything the led in the sony amp lights up, should i ass my speakers to the amp aswell? i got 2, 220watts 6.9 in ther back there also pinoeer

[06RedfireGT]

Do you have an old amp?

[Timmano]

yea thats the amp i got

[Timmano]

nope brand new one, still under warrenty

[06RedfireGT]

No I mean do you have an amp that was replaced by the current one? Like a second one just sitting in the garage.

[G.T. Rags]

yeah, but is it touching paint or metal...?

the fact ur amp turns on but isn't pushing anything out is making me thing ur not actually grounded

[Timmano]

no i dont, and not that i know of here is the pic where the amp is bolted to.

[G.T. Rags]

try a dif ground......

I hooked mine up to the ground for the trunk release......

[Timmano]

tryed the seat bolts but still nothing, even tryed useing two grounds, one on the seat bolt and the back

[G.T. Rags]

try switching around the inputs......

i used to have a 4 channel amp that if i didn't have the inputs exactly right it wouldn't work.....

what r ur subs wired up for?

2 or 4 ohm's?
