A Few things:

1. You say your amps not getting power - have you tested for 12V Power and Ground at the amp (using a multimeter)?
2. Do the same with your remote turn on (when your headunit is turned on)
3. You amp will only turn on when the remote turn on is seeing 12V - which is usually supplied by the deck. The only times this will not happen is:
a. you jumped power from a 12V constant source directly to the amps remote turn on input
b. something breaks in your amp and it get stuck on - VERY UNUSUAL

Spawns idea of a bad fuse is a good one. If you've checked what your comfortable checking and still are not sure.. go to a good store and ask them to take a quick look - they should be able to help get you going again.

Next time you have something weird like that going on - get it checked earlier - so you don't break anything or have anything blow up on ya (especially on a Sunday when the weather is finally nice enough to go for a good cruise!)

No, i havn't tested anything with a multimeter yet since i dont own one, i should be able to do it tomorrow though.

Ya I'm probably going to end up going to a store to get it checked, i'm just trying to figure out what could be wrong since I don't exactly want to pay to have it done!

Ya i might do that from now on, not too happy about my shiny new system going on me already!

Jchristie

anyways, thanks for the replies all. i'm just going to go to a store and have em check it out!

don't go to a big box store. if you find a local decent shop, alot of places will just take a quick look for free. providing nothing needs to be torn apart:P

and any questions are free:P

Jchristie

Saddly the only places around here charge for it Oh well, $30 is better than me destroying everything!

:P alright. thanks!

Where did you get the amp from and where did you end up going?

What did it end up being?

Jchristie

I bought it off a friend. I'm going to be going to a place called 604 autosound.

Not sure yet, i was told i have a bit of a wait till they have time to check on it

Jchristie

So, i took it in today and it turned out there was in fact something wrong with my fuse, not too sure what exactly but there wasnt any power going through and a bunch of heat was building up and ya, so problem solved! thanks again for the ideas!
