I told you to come down here in the first place, I told you to come down here in the second place and now I'll tell you again; come down here and I'll help you sort your system out dude.

BTW, what happened with the bloke who installed it? I thought he was going to fix it?

[mugeneration]

could be a few things. Check the fuse on the power cable, thats most likely the culprit, maybe its blown or has come loose. If that doesnt work check the fuses on the first amp and see if theyre ok. Then check the second. I know my crappy amp (soon to be gone :D ) its power protection cuts in at stupid times and nothing works so it could b just that. what amps are they and what rca and guage power cable u running?

[destrukshn]

it's most probably the fuse on the power cable.
that's the first thing i would look at.
even if the fuse on one of the amps are blown, it still should flow currnet to the other amp, considering it's bridged.
if it was the ground, it should go in protection mode.

[notorious_ahmie]

you know what...when i was playing around with it once...the sub amp's protection light went on..and then off ...hmm wat ya think?

[mugeneration]

yeh the power protection goes on for a certain amount of time after the light comes on. Its not on only while the light is on so yeah could be that, but if it was then your system SHOULD run again when you wait a while and turn it back on? mine did anyway.

try earthing it somewhere else.
what about the remote wire? check that yet?

well im not to sure wat that remote wire is :confused: excuse my retardness...ive spoken to fhrx hes gonna help me out if i cant get this all fixed up..also havent tried earthing it anywhere else..hmmm

[mugeneration]

the remote wire is what switches the amplifier on. It is connected to the back of the head unit (into the wire for the ariel i think). A DIY would tell you how to do it.

[Tu88y]

Sounds like its a blown fuse...
Just double check all your wiring..

[mr_mojo02]

the remote wire comes off the back of ur head unit.. either remote power on, or power antena.. its normally a blue wire

[mugeneration]

also usually the small wire that plugs into your amp near the power and earth cables. Some amps dont even need them i heard, they get turned on automatically once the signal come thru the rcas, so prolly ur fuses yeah?

[typicalmale]

my friend had the same prob. should be the fuse.

[notorious_ahmie]

sorry bout the late reply guys but yeh it was the fuse!!thank god it wasnt the amp or i woulda flipppped !!

[Fhrx]

Dude, it was more than just the fuse; do you want all the images posted up perchance? ;):p

[zorrt]

sorry to jack the thread but hey FHRX, those audio installs from ur place looks pretty neat! love the mini!

[Fhrx]

That mini was done in conjunction with quite a few JL dealers and was primarily built (in it's original guise) years and years ago by Robert D'Angelo. :D
