I pulled in to get gas a few weeks ago, stereo working fine. When I started my Blazer back up, the amp never kicked on. I've heard them 'go out' when you start a car, but I heard nothing. The amp is a Kenwood sub amp, 1000 watt. I felt it, it was actually cold. The power is getting through the distribution block, because my x-over was still lit up. The fuse in the d-block was fine, the leads were tight to the power and ground d-blocks. The leads were tight on the amp, and the fuse on the amp was fine. I'm stumped.

 

Power lights? Protect lights?

Any of those on?



This could be bad.............. lol

 

check it with a test light, also check that your getting power at your remote on wire, and check your ground.

 

yea take a dmm to it and see if its actually getting power. check the fuses on ur amp if it has external fuses

 

The power light on the amp is not coming on...I checked my ground, but not the remote...I'll try it. I checked the fuse on the amp twice. Oh, the amp has less than 1 year of use on it...BUT, it's been in storage for over 2 years, so no warranty there.




damnit

 

Try the remote line. Cause it seems like its not getting the 12v signal telling the amp that it needs to power up.


If thats not it post abck up and I'll let ya know a more complicated option

 

Good point...remote wire...mmm...

The more complicated option...does it involve cussing and throwing amplifiers while trying not to break any window glass? 'Cause brother...do I have THAT technique down.

 

lol It might if theres bad news!

But it'll involve removing the back plate and testing the board's key parts for burnt peices with the DMM


But i think it's the Remote line

 

x2....check the remote into the amp and into the HU

 

OK...I dunno what "x2", "HU", or "DMM" mean.
