i picked up a new, not refurbished, 2 channel orion wcc 1600.2 for $202 shipped from ikesound.com Orion WCC 1600.2 Dynamic Power Rating: 1600 watts Rated Power @ 4 ohm (WRMS): 350W x 2 Rated Power @ 2 ohm (WRMS): 420W x 2 Rated Power @ 4 ohm mono (WRMS): 700 x 1

the problem ended up being the remote turn on lead. the connection to the headunit was loose. tightened it up, and the system blasts awesome. thanks for all the help guys.

yeah, my headunit will come on, but the amp doesnt. i have it wired to the remote turn on lead wire, as shown in the wiring diagram. im 100% sure that its the right wire. so, this just leaves me to believe its from the battery. i just borrowed a multimeter tonight, so ill check it out tomorrow...

yeah, i have the fuse near the battery. about 10" of wire between the battery and the fuse. i have another fuse on the amp too. both are fine. i didnt wire nut the remote turn on lead, i didnt even cut it, i just shaved a section of plastic off of the wire of the blue w/ white wire, and...

well, i hooked up the wire to the blue w/ white strip like the manual says. i hooked it up on the other end, to the amp. i still cant get any power to the amp. i checked, and rechecked all connections. everything looks solid. the ground looks solid. i even grinded the paint away on the frame to...

yes, i think you're right, partly. i jsut found the wiring diagram. the blue is actually to an automatic antenna, but there is a blue with white stripe that is the remote lead for other equip. now, should i jsut cut this and wire nut both ends, with the remote turn on lead wire together? i dont...

mmhmm. it does seem to be the turn on lead. i found the hookup on the amp no problem. it was the one labeled 'remote turn on lead' in the manual, lol. but i cant figure out where the hell to attach it on the headunit. i called jvc, and they wont tell me anything. they are afraid im going to...

i jsut wanted to make sure it woulnd harm anyting if i didnt use it. im a noobie to wiring. thanks for all the info.

ill check to see where it connects to the headunit tomorrow. but, correct me if im wrong, im sure you you know alot about wiring etc, but isnt the line from the amp to the battery what turns on the amp? why do i need the smaller, second line to the HU?

sorry for any stupid questions, but im new to wiring in amps and subs. i ordered the knukoncepts 4 gauge amp kit, and i started installing my amp and subs today, until it started raining. i hooked up about half of the wiring, but when i was working on the rca's, i notices a small wire attached...

ahh, okay. i didnt know that. no, i dont need any of those emblems and such. ill look into that. thanks

thanks for all the advice, and after looking deeper, i narrowed down my decision to one of these 3 amps. i can get either one for about $250 or less, which is good, but still not sure if id need a cap for it. either way, the 3: orion wcc 1600.2 -the one i think is the best one for the money i...

thanks for all the help so far guys. ill check all those out.

not sure really. that will be down the road sometime. ill get some use out of these for now, and when i have more money to spend on a decent system, ill look further. i really dont know who makes good anything as far as car audio goes. right now im only looking for some decent bass. i listen...

im sure you guys are all sick of answering the same question by now. i tried avoiding asking by doing a search on certain amps to find out how good/bad they are. problem is, everytime i think i find an amp that id like, i look it up here, and it gets trashed, lol. i figured this would be a good...
