( BodomKills )

ok i have everything pretty much that i need for a system, its already been hooked up. Recently the power that was going to the amplifier just suddenly stopped. So i checked the fuses, they we're all good. The connections was correct. Does this sound like the power cable from the batter is rather fried or does it sound like a bad connection somewhere...Like i said the amp is not getting power. But my toggle still works. It makes no fucking sense

check the fuse on the power cable. If it's good check to see if you are getting 12v at the end of the power cable where it connects to the amp. If you dont have power and the fuse is good the only thing that it could be is your cable is cut somewhere (very very very unlikely) or your battery is dead. You said the power cut out... which is not very clear. If the problem is the amp isnt turning on my guess is the amp ground is bad or you are not getting 11-12v to the remote turn on

Also, be sure your battery and alternator have good grounds. Although your car may start, run and function...bad grounds for "the big 3" can effect things such as amplifiers, stereos, navigation, DVD players, etc.
