Well I mounted my amp behind my seat about a month ago and its always worked great until yesterday, I turned on my truck and didnt hear my sub working so I checked on deck made sure it was on and then looked at the amp and the power light wasn't on, so I checked all fuses, wires and everything and cant figure out why it wont turn on...

its a Concept 1000watt x 1 amp.
Any info would be much appreciated!

 

Have you tried a voltmeter to make sure everything's good? If you're getting 12V to the positive terminal of the amp then check your ground. Try moving it to a different location and see if that helps. If not the power or ground the only other option is your remote turn-on from the HU.

How's your wiring? Could it have gotten pinched somewhere?

 

^^^ yep yep

 

+1. use a meter to check. Just because the fuse doesnt look blown doesnt mean that its not blown.

Also, there is one more option...the amp could be toast.

 

Well it looks like where my ground was mounted was the problem!

I should of checked that first!! I am just glad my amp was not fried.

thanks for the help guys. Much appreciated!

 

Remember your ground carries the same current as the power wire and should be treated with the same care during installation.

 

Yep I learned the hard way (twice, actually) that a good ground connection is essential. My amp would randomly cut on and off and I figured out that's what it was. This last install I used a wire cup brush on the body and made sure it was ground to bare metal, then self-tapped a few screws through the ground connections.

Glad to hear it was nothing major.

There is no substitute. I've used it for many, many years.
