My subs ain't subbing no more. Help.

[Name'sDEEZ]

Yo i need some help. I'm getting a mental block on determining the problem. I was driving back home and i hit a dip on the road that made me bounce and made my amp cut out.

I checked it and all connections are fine. I put the multimeter and im only getting 3 to 4 volts on power and remote wires.

I checked fuse by the battery and it was good but still i swapped it since its been there for a while.

What else can i do before opening it up?
Thanks in advance.

Update: i got it to power on but it cut out when the bass got to heavy.

You’re only getting 3-4 volts on the power wire and the remote wire?

multimeter and im only getting 3 to 4 volts on power and remote wires.

If you disconnect these wires and get the full 12+ volts, then the amp is fried.

What do you mean disconnect? So i would only be testing ground?

Check your voltage on each side of the fuse holder.

Is the battery terminal clean? You have refreshed fuses and connections so only thing left is that terminal and ground point. If it is a car/suv, I suggest running a ground from the engine block to a strut tower.

What I meant is disconnecting the amp and testing the bare wires with the MM.
