just driving down the road and my speakers stoped working...they are wired to a amp..checked the fuse on the amp and that is ok...checked the fuse on the red power cable and also looks ok...the light on the amp isnt on either...help

[ls1 tiga]

try the earth?

[Kernal]

Were you cranking the shit outta it? Its possible the amp overheated and went into protection.

[dazzler]

naa wasnt cranking it at all... ill check the earth

[vx_commodore]

Multimeter will tell you what the problem is, Its either the main 12V from batt, Remote wire or Ground.
something may be loose somehwere, Battrey conection or Earth maby.

yea guna have to get my mate to put the multi meter on it.. i cant even find where its earthed to lol its too dark and i olny just bought the car thanks annnyway guys

[The_Doctor]

Don't need a multi meter, just get a circuit tester, basically it's a bit of wire with a light globe in it, attach to earth and touch live and it lights up, handy as shit I use mine all the time and costs $6

if you just bought it there is no way of telling the state of the wiring job ive bought a few cars and who ever did the wiring should be shot or have there hands removed its suprising the cars hadnt burnt to the ground in this case id say remote wire is a good chance but id get it looked at by someone in the know to make sure everything else is sweet

Also check the remote wire to the amp. I had 2 problems straight after I had my stereo system installed, 1 was the remote wire had a break it the wire, 2 was the earth was left loose.

where did u get it from??

[dazzler]

i dont know its weird ive checked all the wiring seems ok...in saying that there is alot ov joins like 2-3 joins.....it (the amp) flicks on and off like going ova a bump or shuting the door....turn the car on and off and still doesnt work until i hit a bump or decides it wants to work..ive had the car for 8 days now and its bin fine up until now....checked where the earth was ground to and its earthed pretty well....so got me stuffed might try the circuit tester

[juzzyvk]

It sounds like there is a loose wire if its turning off and on when you go over bumps something is loose. Might be the wire with all the joins in it replace that wire and see if that fixes it.

[dazzler]

yea i re cut the wires and re joined them and elec taped them back up

Is it possible where you have run the remote wire which i assume is under the side trims that it has been pinch as you've gone over a large bump? I'd also wonder if the fuses have prehaps become a little lose.. Sounds like a connectivity issue thats for sure..

i dont know but if it had pinched itself then y would it keep working some times?....checked all the amp fuse and thats fine and pushed it all the way...and checked the power fuse and its still in one pice
