First take the fuse off the power cable neer the car battery. Then you'll be safe to disconnect or cut off any cables.

The ground wire can be cut and be spliced in at a later time so its safe to cut the ground to the amp and tied off for later use. Otherwise it would be a needle in a haystack of wires to find the ground lead. Thanks Rulds2008

I cant get no power to my cap how do i hook it up

There sould be two post one for a positive and one for a ground, connect the wire from your battery to the positive, then run another wire from the cap to the amp. For the ground run a wire from your car body (the shorter the better) to the ground post on the cap, then you can run a ground from the cap to your amp OR you can run a ground from the car body to the amp (whichever may be easier for you) Remember to disconnect the ground from your battery before wiring, this will help prevent arching wires and damage to your system.

Hope this helps.

Live RCA cables????!!!!???

Ckech the ground, the only thing i can think is that the amp is trying to use them as a ground... but you probably have an extremely fried amp and guts are melted and making your RCAs make contact with the power wire, so i'd be real careful, and probably trash the amp. sorry about your luck dude...

Cant figure out what all the wires go to

Most car stereos have wiring for power, ground, speakers and amps/accessories, if you do not have an amp or fewer speakers you will not use all the wires, look in your manual or look on line for a wiring diagram to see what all the wires go to. Your main wires will be main power (usually Red) Back up power (for memory usually orange or yellow) a ground wire (usually Black) and speaker wires.

Help!!

Disconnect your speakers and test the amp. If the protection light goes out , check your speaker wires with a meter for resistance and check the speakers for a shorted coil. Hope this helps. If you need further help, post a comment and I can help you further.

NS- 1600 amp

You need to use a multimeter to confirm that you have a good ground and sufficient voltage on the B+ and remote wires. I'll assume that you've checked the on-board fuses (if it has them).

With your multimeter set to DC volts, the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp (not on the point where the ground wire connected to the vehicle) and the head unit on (so the amp will have remote voltage applied), touch the red lead alternately to the B+ and remote terminals of the amp. If the voltage is below ~11 volts, you need to check the wiring feeding whichever line is too low.

If the voltage remains near or above 12v and the amp does nothing, the amp probably has a blown power supply.

Need a lil ore help!!!

If the overcurrent of DC offset lights are not green, the amplifier probably has blown output transistors.

To eliminate other problems, disconnect all speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp and disconnect signal cables from the amp. If it powers up normally (all lights green), the wiring needs to be checked. If it still shuts down, the amp likely has blown output transistors.

It jus turns off an i can't figure out y?

Disconnect the speaker wires and signal cables from the amp and measure the voltage across the power and ground terminals with a multimeter.

With the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp and the red meter lead on the B+ terminal of the amp, the voltage should remain at or above 11 volts.

With the black lead again on the ground terminal of the amplifier and the red lead on the remote terminal of the amp, the voltage should again remain at or above 11 volts.
