amp problem

check the ground wire for the amp, or check remote wire and make sure it isnt fried.
did you make sure its not the sub? i guessing you mean sub when you siad no bass.
My sub went out the other day. Turned out that that terminal in the sub just fell off. I guess the vibration finally got to it. I had it soldered on this time.
yea when my ground is bad, the amp doesnt turn on. but if my remote wire is bad, the amp turns on but i hear no bass.
Then something must be wrong with the sub itself.JA7 said:i hooked up another amp and it worked so it cant be my ground...i took my amp apart and didnt see anything burned on the inside its wired cuz it comes on but no bass
If you hooked up another amp and your sub worked fine then you know it is your amp. If you hook up another amp but still no sound it is either your sub itself or the wiring. Check all wiring especially if everything comes on but no sound then your RCA cable may have a problem. The sounds come through the RCA cables. It won't be your remote turn on wire if your amp comes on. The amp won't come on if the ground wire isn't connected right. Since it is coming on I don't think it a ground, amp turn on, or power wire. If you is a 2-4 channel amp you may have fried the channel. Try the other channel if that is an option.
well it was bridged....i know there is nothing wrong with the subs bc like i saids when i plugged in the other amp it worked fine. so i know its the amp but i took it apart and didnt see anything wrong but i also dont know what i should be looking forDetainedCivic said:If you hooked up another amp and your sub worked fine then you know it is your amp.

what sub and amp. cuz my bor use to blow amps up all the time. you didn get the amp from walmart i hope?
You won't always see a burn mark inside the amp. If you just bought the amp there should be a factory warranty for it. Send it back. I had to send mine back and since then has worked like a charm.JA7 said:well it was bridged....i know there is nothing wrong with the subs bc like i saids when i plugged in the other amp it worked fine. so i know its the amp but i took it apart and didnt see anything wrong but i also dont know what i should be looking for
