Did you buy the earthwank amp used?

Either way, if the amp comes on, and you know you have a good signal path to it (the RCA's check out flawlessly), open up the case of the D2 and see if the output fuse is popped... There should be a 20A fuse on the output of the speaker connections...

its funny cuz i went and opened up after i got done writing the post and it said 30 amp fuse but there was a pooped 20 inside so i replaced it with a 30 cuz thats what the amp said, but what did you mean by good signal path you said it in a way that sounds like you know somthing i dont if so please tell me i could use the help, im used to audiobahn amps ( the hcx's and all) this is the 1st earthquake amp i bought, is ther certain type of rcas i should run? or somthing cuz as of now im just using white and red rca's if theres somthing i need to do that im not please tell me

good signal paths basically means the rca's are as far away from the power wire as possible

If the 20A was popped, I'd suggest putting the 20 back in there.

The only time you need a 30 is when you are going to drop it to 1 ohm and below.

They aren't very stable or happy at 1 ohm and below, but usually take it... I'd suggest sticking to 2 ohm though, and putting a 20A back in, just like what was there before...
