BIG ODD PROBLEM

alright i just installed my infinity kappa 6.5 components (running off a kenwood 1000w amp).... also 2 10" clarion dvc subs (also running off an identical 1000w kenwood amp).... lightning audio distributor boxes.
everything was running fine... sounded awesome... then all of a sudden everything stopped but the deck was still going, no sound.... i checked ALL the fuses, (in the amps, in the splitter, under the hood) they're all intact... what happened?

might have blown your pre-amp outputs in the back of your deck if you didn't ground your amps really good...

do your other speakers that aren't connected to the amp work?

maybe you blew your components running them off that 1000w amp.

maybe youre overloading the remote load... i have heard this happening... these remote wires arent given very much power, and some of these amps like to suck it in.... try the remote in each amp separately... if that works, time for a 12v relay

problem solved..... the fuse under the hood was blown (didn't look blown tho).... on the battery side my tester read about 12 v but on the other side of the fuse only like 1 v.... so i upgraded that to a 100 amp fuse

If the fuse was blown..there's generally a good reason for it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..
