HPTDoh Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 "On" light won't come on. And I did check the remote.. I've been using the same setup for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing_0 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 take it right to the battery...take a wire and connect the remote terminal with the positive terminal on the amp...then take a wire that goes from the positive terminal of hte amp to POS on the battery, and another wires from the negative terminal of the amp to the NEG on the battery.if it powers up, then there is something wrong with your connection, if it doesnt, cehck the fuses if it has any outboard fuses, it hey are all fine then your amp is deadb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not something is jacked in-line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPTDoh Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 *sigh* I've finally got it working.. turns out it was the power line that was screwy.. but now I've got heaps of noise coming through intermittently. I have no idea why I'm having so many audio problems all of a sudden :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 what exactly was "screwy" with the power wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 what exactly was "screwy" with the power wire?A dollar says its something that could have been solved with a DVM a week ago :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPTDoh Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 screwy = I still don't know! I pulled the power wire completely out trying to find out if it was severed or something... found it in good condition all the way down. Finally I decided to try to power an invertor with the same power and ground wires.. same fuses, terminals, etc etc.. and it WORKED! Me at this point => So I still have no clue what happened. I haven't made any recent changes and have no idea if it'll just decide to quit working again. But theres sound coming out now.. and I still dont have a multimeter :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not wasting hours of my time over 10 dollars. GJ on getting it fixed though. Now go buy a Fluke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
