You should check the remote wire bc you will get power to your amps if its not hooked up but you wont get any music!
Hi, You may want to check all the fuses. The amp power supply line might not be directly connected to the battery but passes thru the ign switch via a fuse, meaning it will only power up with the ign switch and the radio/head turned on. Another wire that you can check is the trigger on supplied by your radio/head unit. this is either blue or yellow color. Last that you can check are your speakers including the wiring. Make sure that bare wires are not touching any metal part of the car or the speaker themselves; finally, check your speakers, make sure that they are not open, shorted or grounded and that they really work. Better check by temporarily installing them in another setup or use a continuity tester which should show a reading of 4 - 8 ohms. Hope this gives you a few ideas. Post back how things are or should you need further information.
Hi again,
missed asking, have you checked your grounding? Double check to make sure amp is properly grounded to the chassis of the vehicle.
Hi again,
"ts the same with both amps" - then big chance there is nothing wrong with either of the amps. it's got to be the wiring;
"i checked my speakers. they r 4 ohms" - did you use a continuity tester to verify if they're still 4 ohms?
"i'm not sure if the speakers r to much for the amp maybe?" - two things here: 1. even if they were, the amps should still power on but then go to auto protect soon as it senses the speakers are "too much"; 2. as you posted initially, "but it worked when i first up it in." So it must be something that happened after the initial setup.
There are 3 important wires to check, the big red which is always on or wired to the ign switch of the vehicle will measure 12VDC (use a VOM tester) or to the + terminal of your battery, the gnd or ground which should be body/chassis grounded or - terminal of your battery and the trigger which is a wire that comes from your radio/head unit which activates the amp also can be tested with a VOM. If your radio and/or ign is off there should be no 12VDC at this trigger wire but should have when the radio/ign is on, the big red wire should always have a 12VDC.
