    is it turning on at all? have you tested the power wire at the amp and see if its actually getting power? Same with the remote?

    yes, the amp won't turn on if there's no voltage on the remote wire.

    what size wire are you running to it.also what size alt does your car have?
    too big of an amp with too little of a power wire or alt will cause your amp to shut down.

    i have a friend with a 1600 watt hifonic's amp only running 8gauge wire to it.he too can not turn up the amp without it shutting down.

    the best thing i was told to do. is to get the thickest wire you can affrord for your stereo so you wont have to upgrade in the future.at least 4gauge.


    also double check your amp from the batt(with proper fuseing of course).maybe something came loose some where in between.?

    or....use a multi meter to make sure your amp is getting voltge.unless you already did.

    thats all i could think of.

    That was happening to me with my bazooka RSA150.2 amp, it was my ground wire wasn't grounded at a good place so the amp wasn't getting enough juice. Also happened to my other bazooka amp but it was a cracked transistor from twisting the amp frame mounting it.

    Okay well now i got everything hooked up and all that (thank god) but i was testing my system to see just how good it was lol, and well i maxed out at 120.9 db or whatever its called, but after i toped it out my inline fuse blew on my + cable, so i replaced that but i still dont have power to the amp after i replaced the fuse, so tomarrow im going to check ALL my fuses on my car and i will probly need a bigger alt. but who knows lol not me, i think i have a 4+ wire it came in the wireing kit but i fergot what it said lol i may just go ahead and upgrade my ground and + wire to the biggest gauge i can get around here, what are some tips that can help me in my current situation???

    anyways msg back soon
