Okay, so here is my system:
2 4x6 Infinity Plate Fronts (462.7cfp)
2 6x9 Infinity Rears (693.9i)
2 Infinity Reference Subs
4 Channel Lanzar Vibe 416 Amp (1000W Max x 4)
2 Channel Lanzar Rack Series Amp (1000W Max x 2)
(Sorry, I don't know the RMS off the top of my head. I hate max ratings as much as the next guy.)
Pioneer DEH-P560MP Head Unit (Soon to be Alpine CDA-9887)
Here is the problem: The 4 channel amp worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks. Then I hear an extremely high pitch frequency for about 5 seconds and if I don't turn off the head unit, the 20 A fuse blows on the amp.
Problem 2: The 2 channel amp won't accept power, the moment the circuit is complete (hook up the positive 4 gauge wire to the amp's terminal) the 2 20 A fuses blow.
Note: The fuse next to the battery is fine.
I've tried wiring them separately and the same thing happens. I've taken my car to Best Buy and they checked everything with a multimeter and every voltage, resistance, current etc. checks out. They verified the wiring is correct. I bought a new 4 channel amp and installed it. Same thing happens. (This means the 4 channel amp has nothing wrong with it.)
I think I've narrowed it down to 2 problems. The remote line is connected to the fuse box instead of the head unit which might be the incorrect amperage. Can this blow a fuse? (This doesn't make very much sense as I've been running the 2 channel with subs off that remote for 3 years and after the 4 channel was installed, it worked for 2 weeks.
Could it be the head unit? This explanation only explains the 4 channel misbehaving, as the 2 channel will blow fuses connected only to positive and negative 12 V supply.
So I guess it could be 2 unrelated problems happening at the same time as unlikely as that is. Bad head unit, and the 2 channel is simply broken. (Internal transistor????)
Please help if you have knowledge, albeit expert knowledge because I've stumped everyone I've talked to so far.
Thanks!
