okay amp is the hifonics listed in my sig, all connections are ran properly b/c i installed it w/ the help of a CC installer.... symptoms. amp light or protect light do not come on what so ever, no blown fuses what so ever, leds's on top of amp come on(minus the hifonics part that lights up), i blew my old amp last week and the power wire was charred, does not look like that right now b/c i replaced it but i am gettin no power or sound outta the amp... what could be wrong?

 

Where are you getting power from? And where is your ground? Are you 100% certain your headunit's RCA's are putting out a signal? Then at the same time are the RCA cables good? This is where it's nice to have that ultra cheap amp from wal-mart that was made in mexico along with some long cheap RCA's.

On a side note - CC installers are rarely impressive. Oh and your sig isn't showing.

 

amp is a hifonics 1206d i think, rcas are putting out sound, amp wont power on and i am gettin 14 volts at the amp, power is directly from battery w/ an inline fuse obviously and ground is straight to chassis of truck

 

try to hot wire the remote turn on wire from power off the battery.

 

i know its not the remote turn on b/c when i turn on the HU the leds on the amp turn on with it but the power LED doesnt turn on and neither does the protect LED and the lights on amp turn off when HU is off

 

anyone?

 

it sounds like a signal problem.... im not sure how much access you have to product that you can test with... Maybe your guy at CCity has a test bench that he can test your amp on.. or a diff HU that he can run a pair of rca's directly into the truck with, you need to isolate the problem... Could be a bad channel on the amp. Could be a problem with the signal, maybe the amp is just bad. Hell all the speakers might not be connected for all i know though. Its hard to say without seeing it.

 

i have said before its not a signal problem, amp isnt powering up i have checked everything at this point so i am going to send it back under warranty and get it replaced or fixed, then replace all my wiring

 

Ill bet money you have a glass fuse. Correct? If so, try a different fuse.

If thats not the case, take ya boys meter and check grounds, power to the terms, etc. Hes an installer, he should have it figured out.

P.S. CCity installer = Your problem JOKING!

 

no glass fuse, 14 volts power at the amp at idle.....

 

14v at the Rem?

Ground under 1 ohm batt to amp?

If then it still doesnt turn on, that would be the amp.

If it does, then try a new set of RCA's just ran over the seats (big time-saver)

Make sure Subwoofer out is on.

If still no, check the resistance at the amp terminals.

Check the resistance at the spk.

If anything is a bit off with the resistance at the amp but not the spk, then try a new wire

If resistance is off at the amp and spk check inside the box. Look for a loose wire and/or a blown tinsel or open VC.

If none of that works, try a different amp. If sound comes out of the new one. Then it is the amp. If not its the radio.

 

its 14v at the power at the amp, ground is directly to frame, new rca's didnt work, no loose wires in box, im gonna send it back in for warranty work and get it fixed
