I think i friggin blew a fuse...
 

My stupid cap aint comin on and my Rockford amp aint showing any power coming to it which fuse should I be checking to fix this problem? The wires are all fine.

If its wired standardly, I would check the main power wire under the hood!!

The wire under the hood
 

Everything is secure i checked. But for some reason there is no power coming through the cap. The digital display and the amp isnt even showing ANY sign of power.

Use a digital multimeter and see where you have power.

Coming through the cap? Are you saying your amps power goes through the cap?

all he's saying is that he doesnt know what he's talking about

yes u probably popped a fuse, not a big deal, just get a new one, maybe a bigger one.

either that your ground is really

I changed the fuse on my 4 gauge wire
 

The fuse on my wire is fine, i replaced it anyways and it still doesnt work. My ground is attached to the body of the car bolted down but i was told to run it to the battery would u say thats smart? Any place in Brampton that would check it out and not charge much?

First thing to do is get a voltmeter and check if there is power getting to the rear. If there is, you should check your remote turn on wire.

Ye i have a feeling its the remote for some reason even though its connected still. Maybe the wire got cut or something along the line I'll have to check.

Don't get a bigger fuse than the one that is already in there! That's a common mistake and some bad can happen.

Figured it out
 

I checked everything about 20 times from step to step. And i finally had some help with my uncle and his light up volt tester or w.e u call it lol. I found out for some reason the cap kept short circuiting. My guess is that it needs to be charged again at Peel Audio or some place before i can put it back in. So i directly configured my amp to the battery and grounded it and all. It works fine now but im not going too high on it with the bass because im not using a cap at the moment, could be asking for some trouble lol.

how did you have the cap hooked up? was it in series?

doubt its the remote, why would remote affect the cap not working? im still going with bad ground

"I hooked it up "all right",but it's still not working!" LOL

duplicate post

Well if the Cap short circuits and it is hooked up correctly your entire electrical system should have melted... thank goodness you hooked it up wrong. It isn't short circuiting and you dont "precharge" them at a dealer either... Please Please please be careful you are in over your head


OK so the amp is fine and the power flow is fine so leave the cap out before you blow stuff up

take out the cap and wire directly to the amp.
if it works the cap is .

kk thanks
 

Thank u all for the advice. I've learned a lot actually. This is my first time doing car audio and I owe u all for helping me do it right. Thanks again.
