My subs are not working. I have every wire hooked up right (to my knowledge,)they were working fine for about a year, I checked for blown fuses the light on top of my amp is on so I know there is power going into it. Does anyone know what my problem could be?

okay , well you need to make sure all your conections are in the right spots, and that your IN LINE FUSE, between your amp and battery, the big glass one is not burnt, just take a look at the metal piece inside , if its a sold metal piece its good, if its burnt in half like a broken bridge it needs to be replaced. the next thing is the fuse on your amp, you need to make sure it is not burnt also. Check your remote that it is hooked up to the right wire. then check that your sub/speaker wires are connected properly and secure. YOUR GROUND WIRE IS HUGE HERE also. MAKE SURE IT IS GROUNDED TO A GOOD SPOT, YOU MAY HAVE TO MOVE IT AROUND A FEW TIMES TO FIND A GOOD GROUND!!!! if you check all of these things, it should work fine.. you can fiddle with your amp and bass settings levels. turn em up so when it works you know it, but not too much you dont wanna blow nothing :)
signs of a short, did any wires touch while you where hooking or un hooking the amp? if not then the internal power supply probably has a short in it and needs to be repaired. you can swap the fuse for a good one and hook it back up and make sure you don't touch any wires and if it blows it again then your issues is internal and will need repair if it doesn't and everything seems fine then wires could have touched or the amp was ran past it's limit and blew the fuse to protect it self. good luck and ask any more question you have
I would first suggest un-hooking the subs, and hooking them up to another known good radio other than the one its hooked to now. Just to make sure you didnt blow the speakers. What is the wattage of the subs? Then if the speakers do work I would hook them up bypassing the amp just to see if the problem exist before or after. Come back after doing this. Thanks
Possibly connections, check that FIRST, then check to see if the speaker moves smoothly in and out, if you can hear a scratching or feel it when moveing the speaker , it is blown.
it is probably the rca inputs on the amp may have fried. was your cd decked turned up loudly before the power went out? did any wires accidently touch each other? If had worked fine and then suddenly stopped, than either a wire came loose or the inputs fried. try using different cables and I also suggest disconnecting power for 24 hours and then reconnect. If the green light is on then it is getting power and the problem is in the rca cables or the inputs
how did u wire the speaker ?what is the speaker rated at 2 ohm or 4ohm? thees kicker l7s 15 inch is rated for 1000 rms and 2000 peak the only thing that could of hapend was somthing was touching some were in the wiring or u hade the speaker wired at a load of 1 ohm
this problem sound like you have too low of power going to your amp, test your battery and make sure its putting out enough power for at least the mininum amount of power that your amp requires, you can find that information in your manual or sometimes they post it on the amp itself. i hope this info helps
