Although i have years of experience with audio. I was dumbfounded when i saw that you tested your amp with a rca to aux jack to test the stereo rca. That is genius. Lol. Good video.
Also a bypass if you don't Wana plug RCA into stereo get a fm transmitter that is in and out on aux cord then do Bluetooth to it and it will play your own radio stations along with the amp
Thanks man, I just about gave up and almost took my truck in to an audio shop cause my last amp didn’t have fuses in it. It fried my 100amp fuse by the battery and melted the casing for it. Replaced the fuse and casing, bought a new amp and hooked everything back up, no sound from the subs. I did ever step in your vid and chased it down to the Ground. It was so corroded and wasn’t even attached to the bolt anymore, I felt pretty stupid assuming nothing could go wrong with a ground. Fixed it, now it works. You saved me bro, right on for the vid.
Thank you for this video, my subs would stop working when I played a song with a lot of bass. I checked the ground wire to see how it was mounted. Who ever installed it at the dealer used a black painted self tapper to mount the ground wire and the paint was still there. I replaced the screw with solid metal and chipped the paint off and screwed back in. As soon as I did that I played a song and my subs wouldn’t cut off anymore.
Lol I understand why would someone just screw it to a painted surface (lazy) but to screw a painted one as well lol well that’s just crazy haha - thanks for your comment made my day haha 🤣
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to share. Your video has already helped me narrow down my issue quite a bit. So, thanks, I appreciate ya!
Hey thanks for the video bro, couldn't figure out why my box stopped working so I checked those wires to the amp and it was the fuse under the hood. Never even knew I had a fuse there so this saved me some $$$. Thanks again!!
@@evilbunnies4205 i tested everything, turned out to be the amp! I ended up replacing it with a power acustics and for what I payed for it it's doing great!
Thank You in this video I didn’t realize to scrub the paint off for the ground. It looked in my vehicle like it was not painted but I was wrong so thanks again
Just to put it out there, I have a 1000w kenwood amp and it has full power at main and remote turn on but no power at all going to the sub, + and - terminals on amp are likely fried, internal fuzes and external fuzes replace all. Like if this helped but not sure yet if it fixable on all models.
I hear a pop when I turn my car on like someone is plugging an aux cord slowly. And all that turns on is my cooling fans for my amps and subs. And if I turn my stereo up all the way, I can hear quiet music.
Check what speaker that poppin noise is coming from , that usually happens when to wires or the terminal for the speaker is making ground to the car, or touching any other wire
I've had that issue and I fixed it by using a light switch between the 12v+ and the remote wire. Turn head unit on and then flip the switch. Do the opposite when turning off the sub. I don't understand why this worked for me but it fixed the annoying thump coming from my subs when turning em off
If your amp kicks off when the bass hits that usually means that the speakers are wired at an ohm load that is not stable with the amp. If you have an amp thats only 2 ohm stable and you wire down to 1ohm then that amp will shut down when the bass hits at a high volume. Most of the time it wont kick off aat a low level when this is occurring but as soon as you turn up it kicks off.
I'm getting power thru the remote wire and power n the negative is grounded to the negative on battery get no sound to my speakers nothing came loose so it has something to do with my rcas or speaker wire. I tested the speaker wire and it doesn't go any higher then 2 volts I test the rear speaker wire on the subs I get nothing? Maybe my speaker wire got cut somewhere ? Or it's not good speaker wire ?
Hey i have 2 amps one for bass one for highs they both share same remote,power and ground, the bass amp is on and the high amp is on but when the voice hits louder when i turn the volume up the high amp stops playing sound but still remain on and Not in protection mode, this just started occurring. Hasnt happend before.
All cables are good, the amp is on. One minute I got sound when I first turned the car on and then.. Once I tried to turn the volume up it cut off.. The protection light didn't cut on, but what I did notice is that on the sides where the neon lights of the amp normally turn on, they were off.. But the light logo in the middle of the amp was still turned on. So I'm guessing that something internally in the amp burned out.. Maybe a capacitor went bad, resistor or Transistor?
Any suggestions, I have same exact amp. Power up fine, gets 12.8V from The battery, solid light. (Been working fine last 4-5 years) No sound, plug in the RCA with headphone jack and no sound either. Subs tested fine at 4 Ohms each.
Hi what would cause a 4 channel amp not get power. Reason is no music from car speaker . When I turn the key to accessories the protection mode comes on and off quickly but no power mode on. Also check the fuses at the amp and there good. Don't have a inline fuse .
Great detailed video will check this out tomorrow on my amp. I got a 97 Grand cherokee orvis edition. I sunk it in a mud hole and the amp was under water for a couple hours . It worked great until that day so in case it’s all fried which I assume it is, any tips for installing a new one ?
Question just replaced my 4 channel alpine amp for a 5 channel alpine amp. I also replaces my 8 gauge power and ground wires for a 4 gauge wires p&g (recommended by amp). Before stereo/amp worked fine with the 4 channel amp. Now as I increase my volume with the 5 channel amp my sound shut off. The amp turns off but turns back on when I turn down the volume and I forgot to mention all my gains are turned turn completely. What am I doing wrong?
Great video. All others dont go into detail like yours. Question? Everything on mine checked out on all your test. Tested and got the voltage i needed on everything. So i ended up buying new amp. Subs still didnt play. So my last test was the 3.5 mm jack to rca to play off my phone and still no sound off both amps. Speakers are good.
+Noe Reyes ur getting power to the amp ? Ground battery and remote ?- if u got them brand new and there's is still no sound even after connecting rca to your phone then it has to be because there no power to the amp or ur new speakers may not be connected from the insider or u just have bad luck and got a defective amp lol
you might have your subs wired wrong if they are dual Voice coil and you have them wired to the wrong impedance the amp will not recognise it or will go into protect mode
+Mizta Shy (How 2 and Tech vids) I have no sound on my subwoofers but last time that guy that connected moved something on my double DIN but I don't remember what was it

Hey don’t figure you’ll see this but uh. My amp has a green light (my amp doesn’t have a fuse) ground is literally wired to my battery, my fuse seems fine have more ordered just in case, I have no sound coming through them, I was driving they flipped off back on for a few seconds then nothing since earlier today, they flipped on for like 15 seconds. I’ve already pulled my box apart and checked the speaker wire inside my box everything’s good. I’m just stumbled dk what to do. Should I just buy a new amp??
hey i have a 4 channel cx300.4 kicker amp and the sound shuts off and on for some reason and its on a second battery power and ground for that amp is straight to the battery and sound still fades in and out.

Maybe you can help me out.. Had my touchscreen amp and subs all hooked up by a professional.. It worked fine a whole week.. Then on my way home it shut off.. Didnt smell smoke or anythin..

So i accidentally rubbed the rem wire against connected wire ad went to connect the rem cable and the led light would shine then like dem down and shut off..so any idea on how to fix the rem wire.. I know my amp isnt blow as its just the rem wire.. I just tried to connect it to the ignition fusen( how i had my other amp) and it didnt work
My amp works good but if I try to bridge my subs it cuts off even if I connect it the normal way it keeps going into protect mode but if I hook the subs on the other output it's works good idk what's wrong I've tried it in a different car and it does the same
I've got a 1600.1 audio pipe amp I've tested it with voltage meter all the way to sub it gets power I turned it all the way up at one point and my sub cut on I tried to cut the gain down on the amp and it cuts the sub off again I know the sub doesn't need all the gain but now I can cut the amp all the way up again but sub doesn't kick back in is my amp fried or the sub?
Hi can you help out please i have 2012 MDX trying run RAC input & output converter . Taking out my rear subwoofer to replacing with 10" kicker. custom fiberglass box. Just needed know where i can wire the converter. Please let me know the cost will send
I had the same problem and did all the tests and had no results untill I checked the output of the stereo rca and that was the problem had to replace stereo and did get the other one fixed at a local shop
I put in my stereo today. I wired up everything correctly. Speakers came on everything came on. I went driving and my car hit and shut off it wouldn’t turn back on I changed everything and no sound the meter on my capacitor says 14.5
Ok I have a problem.my system has fail sub.9 band EQ.1000 watt 4 CH Amp.all was good.But now when each chanel from the amp is connected to my sub no sound from the sub.if I unplug 1 wire I have sound.i get sound from both channels of the EQ.i have sound from each channel on the amp.i also get sound from each channel of the sub it's only when I go to connect the 2 channels of the sub that it doesn't work.For year's I've had left and right channels connected to the daul sub .I've checked the wire's on the sub.leads both channels on the EQ & the Amp & the stereo all work's .Only when I connect the 2nd terminal of the sub that's when the sub stops working.iam lost.Any though's .
I'm thinking my head unit has gone bad , I've a pioneer avh8500bt. The other day the ground wire for my sub amp came loose, I reconnected it an it was fine then a coupe days after that the sound from my sub and my speakers came out distorted, then barely any sound at all an then after a lil bit no sound. What's the possibility of two separate amps going at the exact same time? Unless the ground wire swung onto the other amp an somehow they both shorted out? I wanna test the RCA cables out so I will try out what u said tonight thanks, I'm assuming if it comes out clear the amps are messed up an of it comes out disordered either the RCA cables or the head unit or messed up, then I would replace the rce cables and if it still is comes out distorted I would know for certain that it is the head unit
I have the exact same amp everything was hooked up right but no sound at first but anytime I play with the remote wire it cuts on and off fast any idea
i have an amp problems with sound coming from it to sub will stop but when i unplug speaker wire and plug it back i have sound for awhile until i shut my suv off then back on no sound until i unplug it again
Hey, thanks for the tips buddy but I have a question ; I was bumping my system which has 2 amplifiers, 1 to power the components in the front and the other one for the subwoofer in the back plus I have an electronic cross-over. While turning up the volume too high, the sound completely went out in the front but the subwoofer is still working. My question is, could the electronic cross-over give out and cause the sound to go out... is it possible for the electronic cross-over to fail? And I read somewhere that even if 1 tweeter or midbass driver goes out..... the amplifier powering them will shut off completely, is that true? I know it's not the amp because I switched the front amp to power the sub and it worked fine. I'm thinking I didn't adjust the electronic cross-over correctly and blew the tweeters out causing the amplifier to shut down. What do you think might have happened?
I have Sony 4 channel amplifier but i use tourist bus 12 converted 24 voltage input but work properly 2 hours suddenly coil is bearn what is the complaint sir please help
ok, I just installed a new amp and front speakers at the same time. I put in the driver door speaker and tested it with the amp and it worked. then I put in the passenger door speaker and tested it and it worked. I then started putting everything back together and got about halfway through and tested it again and I got nothing from the front speakers. only the rear. I checked the amp, it has power, I tested the rca cables as suggested in this video and got no sound, so it isn't the rca cable or stereo. I can't figure out what else it could be. if it was a speaker issue, it would most likely be just one speaker. so what is it? can anyone help a brother out? thank you! good video, btw.
Hey my 2x12" 2800 watt subs and amp were working fine for a whole day and I started adjusting the bass and the ground wire shocked and fell out and now I cant get the subs to work but I can hear the amp kick on

Then then I went home to get ready for work, started the car again and they worked for a couple min then shut off then turn back on after about 5 min for like 3-4 seconds. What's wrong? Help
I had the same problem the RCA in the amp if you unscrew everything the RCA input and output was loose from it connection inside had get it fix the metal of RCA was not in touch inside it was half broken
Did either one of you figure it out? All my shit is on I'm running a 4channel for the doors and they play perfect and the other amp the powers the subs is on (green light lit up) but zero sound.... brand new power and ground with its own fuse
@@iamyzdemon5717 most head units have a subwoofer on/off feature. Put your head unit in standby mode and cycle through your settings. It might be located in the pre amp out setting.
Ok... what if it’s been working well up to a point where it just stops making sound? It’s showing power and no protection seems engaged... yet it refuses to make sound. Que Carajo?!
Mizta Shy nope. It’s been running happily on the same battery. Also I set the the radio itself to power on the sub amp. Although, I did turn it off when the amp started malfunctioning.
hi i have a amp and there is power but i have no sound, i have checked all cabling and my rca's especially, changed the rca's as well but still nothing, the sub is working fine but i still have nothing, please help
Maybe your remote wire needs more power. Try adding another wire to it. For example you got your remote wire twisted into the amp on wire coming from your head unit, then twist another wire like your ACC wire like it says on the wiring diagram. So you'll have 3 wires in total twisted including the remote wire.
I have a question I'm having issue with my 2 back speaker and one of my amplifier is not working no more I change the fuse on the amp wasn't is and I look at my other fuse next to the battery its not crack or nothing don't know what's the issue?

Hey thanks for the video! So I went through the steps... Alphine MRP-M500 turns on. However, has no sound. So I used a RCA cable with a headphone jack and tried playing it through my phone... still no sound. Does this mean it is the amplifier itself that is broken?

+Marion Walker it could be the ground wire or that your speakers are hooked up bad - the positive is on negative and the negative is hooked up to the positive - check that out of it still does the same the amp may be bad -
A quick and easy way to stop that terrible whining noise coming through your car stereo speakers is to use a ground loop isolator or inline noise suppressor

I had the same problem and did all the tests and had no results untill I checked the output of the stereo rca and that was the problem had to replace stereo and did get the other one fixed at a local shop
Thank You.
dang a 100 amp fuse? how much power (rms) you push through that wire?
I put in my stereo today. I wired up everything correctly. Speakers came on everything came on. I went driving and my car hit and shut off it wouldn’t turn back on I changed everything and no sound the meter on my capacitor says 14.5
When u say hit u mean u hit something or the beat went boom ? 😎

Everything good on anp but nothing coming from any if my 6x9s any help Appreciated thanks
I'm thinking my head unit has gone bad , I've a pioneer avh8500bt. The other day the ground wire for my sub amp came loose, I reconnected it an it was fine then a coupe days after that the sound from my sub and my speakers came out distorted, then barely any sound at all an then after a lil bit no sound. What's the possibility of two separate amps going at the exact same time? Unless the ground wire swung onto the other amp an somehow they both shorted out? I wanna test the RCA cables out so I will try out what u said tonight thanks, I'm assuming if it comes out clear the amps are messed up an of it comes out disordered either the RCA cables or the head unit or messed up, then I would replace the rce cables and if it still is comes out distorted I would know for certain that it is the head unit
Good - - well hopefully is just the rca cables -
I have the exact same amp everything was hooked up right but no sound at first but anytime I play with the remote wire it cuts on and off fast any idea
I’m having the same issue now. Do you know what you did to fix the issue?
@@foundthebleach487 try moving around your ground wire
Good work boss! Thank you
How do you check it!
Mine does turn on but no sound unless it’s way too loud the bass try to hit but cuts and come back on but end up cutting. Please help
Do you have to have the remote wire connected in order for the subs to work?
The remote wire is to turn on the amp
my amp's light red light is just blinking what would be the cause of this??
a possible cause is that your RCA converter isnt grounded. you might have the ground pluggd into the wrong socket at the back of your head unit
i have an amp problems with sound coming from it to sub will stop but when i unplug speaker wire and plug it back i have sound for awhile until i shut my suv off then back on no sound until i unplug it again
Hey, thanks for the tips buddy but I have a question ; I was bumping my system which has 2 amplifiers, 1 to power the components in the front and the other one for the subwoofer in the back plus I have an electronic cross-over. While turning up the volume too high, the sound completely went out in the front but the subwoofer is still working. My question is, could the electronic cross-over give out and cause the sound to go out... is it possible for the electronic cross-over to fail? And I read somewhere that even if 1 tweeter or midbass driver goes out..... the amplifier powering them will shut off completely, is that true? I know it's not the amp because I switched the front amp to power the sub and it worked fine. I'm thinking I didn't adjust the electronic cross-over correctly and blew the tweeters out causing the amplifier to shut down. What do you think might have happened?
Did u ever get that fixed
Having the same issue
This guy literally went over the simplest shit without actually troubleshooting the amp. All he troubleshooted was the car wiring not the amp
I need help
My amp is on and everthing is working but when I hook up the subwoofer it will not play but I hooked up another amp it played what happen to my amp

Bro please do yo know how to fix protection the red on no sounds
I have Sony 4 channel amplifier but i use tourist bus 12 converted 24 voltage input but work properly 2 hours suddenly coil is bearn what is the complaint sir please help
Yo I have and dual Bluetooth media player. I hooked everything up correct and it comes on with sound and then sound goes out after 5 min every time
Check your ground wire be sure it has good contact
Mizta Shy Just realized my negative battery cable is loose and when I hit a bump it also goes out is it my loose negative cable? Possibly
I have a california profile amp the light blinks green and the protection light doesn't come on at all is it salvageable?
Whats the problem?
Yeah I just bought new subwoofers and Traders and my bass goes out and comes back on don't know what to do
ok, I just installed a new amp and front speakers at the same time. I put in the driver door speaker and tested it with the amp and it worked. then I put in the passenger door speaker and tested it and it worked. I then started putting everything back together and got about halfway through and tested it again and I got nothing from the front speakers. only the rear. I checked the amp, it has power, I tested the rca cables as suggested in this video and got no sound, so it isn't the rca cable or stereo. I can't figure out what else it could be. if it was a speaker issue, it would most likely be just one speaker. so what is it? can anyone help a brother out?
thank you! good video, btw.
Hey my 2x12" 2800 watt subs and amp were working fine for a whole day and I started adjusting the bass and the ground wire shocked and fell out and now I cant get the subs to work but I can hear the amp kick on

Same issue!

My amp has power but when I ground it it shuts off?
Thank you for the vdo. CHECK YOUR GROUND, worked for me.
I have a amplifier turn on but it’s go on protection mode what can I do
Hey man my amp when cold it works but after a couple of minutes there's no sound but the amp is on i replaced the rca's and check the power cables and everything is good can you help me...
Ur amp over heats not pushing out enough power or u have a bad ground
Dude... I have the same car. Are you running subwoofer with that amp?
Yeah it’s a good amp specially if u have a good sub with a good box 👍🏼
Mizta Shy that’s a fact!
My amps on an everthing but no sound only when i wiggle the rca wire what does that mean any help?
Bad rca hopefully
@@MiztaShy I've changed it an still same results
I have the same amp with 2 kenwood "explode" 10's it's been running fine, until yesterday. I was driving and suddenly the subs shut off. Then then I went home to get ready for work, started the car again and they worked for a couple min then shut off then turn back on after about 5 min for like 3-4 seconds. What's wrong? Help
It can lead to shutting off of the amplifier.

Checked all my fuses all good amp on but no sound wtf please help
I had the same problem the RCA in the amp if you unscrew everything the RCA input and output was loose from it connection inside had get it fix the metal of RCA was not in touch inside it was half broken
Im having problems with one of the rca cables too was it hard to open up
My sub just stopped working but amp has power and radio works fine. Just no bass from sub.
my dual amp 600 hundred watt amp has power the green light is on and im not getting bass what do i do
Same issue
Did either one of you figure it out? All my shit is on I'm running a 4channel for the doors and they play perfect and the other amp the powers the subs is on (green light lit up) but zero sound.... brand new power and ground with its own fuse
@@iamyzdemon5717 most head units have a subwoofer on/off feature. Put your head unit in standby mode and cycle through your settings. It might be located in the pre amp out setting.
Thanks for the help man
How tou check the channels
Ok... what if it’s been working well up to a point where it just stops making sound? It’s showing power and no protection seems engaged... yet it refuses to make sound. Que Carajo?!
Did you recently change battery or did it die on you ? Check stereo settings for some stereos you have to switch on the sub option from the stereo
Mizta Shy
nope. It’s been running happily on the same battery. Also I set the the radio itself to power on the sub amp. Although, I did turn it off when the amp started malfunctioning.
Look at that fuse wiring job lol
hi i have a amp and there is power but i have no sound, i have checked all cabling and my rca's especially, changed the rca's as well but still nothing, the sub is working fine but i still have nothing, please help
Maybe your remote wire needs more power. Try adding another wire to it. For example you got your remote wire twisted into the amp on wire coming from your head unit, then twist another wire like your ACC wire like it says on the wiring diagram. So you'll have 3 wires in total twisted including the remote wire.
Did you
Ever fix this?
I have a question I'm having issue with my 2 back speaker and one of my amplifier is not working no more I change the fuse on the amp wasn't is and I look at my other fuse next to the battery its not crack or nothing don't know what's the issue?
Did u check the lines with a 12v tester ?
@@MiztaShy no not yet i was gonna check if my amp has blown out but I don't smell anything and I'm trying not to take my car to the stereo place I wanna try to fix it on my own
Well do that first - check the fuses on the amp as well
@@MiztaShy ima check all that and see what happens thanks bro
I've checked all my fuses and wires, the amp still won't turn on
Thank you!
THANKS BRO
No problem
Just got my new amp. I switch everything from the old amp to the new amp. The amp is on but no sound. I rewire everything to the old amp and I get sound. Is the new amp a bad amp?
Most likely check the fuse that’s on the new amp
Hey thanks for the video! So I went through the steps... Alphine MRP-M500 turns on. However, has no sound. So I used a RCA cable with a headphone jack and tried playing it through my phone... still no sound. Does this mean it is the amplifier itself that is broken?

@@erikbartolo292 run 2 remote wires from head unit to amp?
My subs only turn on in fm not in bluetooth but they used to play in bluetooth before can anyone help
What about the funny sound in the speakers when driving
i have a audiopipe apcl-6004.. my power light goes from blue to red afta about 10sec.. is it salvageable??
+Marion Walker it could be the ground wire or that your speakers are hooked up bad - the positive is on negative and the negative is hooked up to the positive - check that out of it still does the same the amp may be bad -
thought u was gonna troubleshoot internal of the amp motherboard 😆 if no sound...
Thanks homie
Went i turn it on it makes a buzzing sound i turn the light on it the buzzing sound goes away i need help please
A quick and easy way to stop that terrible whining noise coming through your car stereo speakers is to use a ground loop isolator or inline noise suppressor
If the RCA from the amp wiggles it broken
