Amp Problems- PLEASE HELP!!!!

**bipseus** · 07-28-2006, 07:00 PM

I have a visonik amp and sub combo.. 400 watts.. installed about a good 9-10 months ago.. it al sounded good and workin fine.. untill a few days ago when they just stopped for no reason.. I have checked every possible wire with it and have checked the speakers. I put a volt tester to the groud and power.. it even gives me 12 volts between the frame and the power where i grounded it. I get 6 ohms out of each speaker jack and i have tested both speakers with a 9 volt battery and they both push out fine. remote lead also gives 12 volts when the radio goes on. and rca cables are attached and all tight. If anyone knows what this could be PLEASE help.. im going crazy! thanks

first thing to do is try a different source signal. hook up an mp3 player or some other external audio device to your amps and let us know if you hear any music

also check amp fuses. Make sure your amps are powering on and such

Well I tried my ipod directly to the input jacks but no good... I have checked all fuses- which there are only 2 one being the 40 inline and the other 25 on the amp. I ran a continuity test trhough em and they both get .01 volts so they are good. also- another note.. when i turned on my radio when they worked i would get a big thump sound from them meaning they were on and workable. now when i turn it on i get nothing.. but the light on it is on.. any other ideas?

The amp could've went bad on the input. Does the amp have a high level input? If so, try using that instead of the RCAs. If that doesnt work, it could be bad.

It does have a high input.. how do you go about wiring it? Does my head unit need a specific port for it? or is it just a wire adapter you buy?

high input just means that you can use your speaker level outputs on the headunit (green, green/black, purple, purple/black, white, white/black, gray, and gray/black wires if memory serves me right) to give the amp it's signal. This is just a band aid though. sound quality will get affected. Since all of your speakers aren't working then i suspect that it's time for a new amp
