    Default Subs Suddenly Stoped Working

    I jumped in my car last night for a bit of cruising, only to find out my subs weren't working, I first checked the fuse for the amp wiring in the engine bay - its fine. Second I checked the amp in the boot, there are no power lights on it at all. I cannot see a fuse on the amp itself. I'd really like to get this working asap as I have a cruise on Monday. Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Also: the amp is a 1550W Clarion DPX11551 Mono Block and is running 2X 1000W Clarion PXW1251 12" Subs with a Aeropro PC20 2 Farad Capacitor. The capacitor desplays voltage from battery and that still lights up, all my speakers are working as well as my head unit.

    So the capacitor still has power? Is there still power going from the cap to the amp?

    Try unplugging the RCAs and speaker wire and see if it gets power.

    Guess the trigger wire didn't feel the love and buggered off.
