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?

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

) 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?

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.

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** · 28-06-2005 06:34 PM

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.

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.
