I hooked up my kenwood amp and the power lite doesnt come on kac-6104D

Ground shouldnt be getting voltage? The ground is the negative! And you should not put the negative test lead on the remote!

First off, you need a bigger fuse! Your amp has 60 amps of fusing, you need a 60-80 amp fuse in the power wire! You might have slowly internally melted the fuse to the point where it intermittently makes contact--- ive seen it happen

So, triple check your wiring, make sure the ground is bolted to BARE metal on the chassis (use sandpaper if you must).

And upgrade the fuse (in the power wire) to 80 or 100 amps.

in parallel then only the exact power will feel

When you hooked up your amp, did you hook it directly to the head unit so that it didn't come on with the car? Did you find the inline fuse in the amp positive cable? Few things to check..

dependent upon the wattage of both the amp and speakers in same olm configuration. Too much amp is a good thing, too little is a bad thing as it will burn up your speakers and amp

you want to parallel the terminals on the woofer. a jumper from positive to positive and the same on the negative will equal 2 ohm load at the amp

leave power connections hooked up disconnect rca and speaker wires if they still blow more than likely problem with amp

Hello jayPRICAN,

You do not say what kind of speakers you are running on the amp and that can affect how you troubleshoot the problem.

Most often, a wiring problem such as a faulty ground or short in the speaker wires will cause such a problem. Here are the most likely causes for the amp to go into protection.

1) When a speaker wire is shorted or grounded.
2) Overheated.
3) When a ground wire of the receiver/head unit or the amp itself is not properly grounded.
4) When the amp itself malfunctions and a DC is sent to the speaker output.

First check your power, ground and remote turn-on wires. Then disconnect the inputs and speaker wires. If the amp does not power up normally with all the other wires disconnected, the amp itself is defective. If it does power up with everything else disconnected, reconnect the wires one at a time to determine where the problem is located.

Hope this helps.

genrally kenwood amps are power hungry amps so after playing for a while if it doesnt get the amount of amperage to make it work it will shut down cus you car cant charge the battery long enough for the use of that amp so my idea is try a farad capacitor and see if that helps good luck .......tk

HI DUDE UR REMOTE WIRE FUSE IS BURNT .... REPLACE IT ... AND UR SPEAKER ... OR SUB TAKES LOT POWER FROM AMP .... ....
