i got it working again, i re stripped the power, ground, and remote cable, made sure my distro block was tight, and it powered back on. i'm running a distro because i use to run 2 amps. i'm going to wait to hook up my sub, i can live with my fronts and rears working for now. i'm nervous that if...

havnt checked to see if the lights dim, i will take a look though.

Thanks. i think i might get a new battery today, its an inexpensive upgrade, and much easier then re wiring the whole system.

yeah, i'm almost willing to bet it could be my battery or terminals, i just noticed a lot of corrosion on one of the terminals, and its an older economy type of battery.

Hello, i am having issues since it started getting cold out my amp doesnt turn on. It would turn on after turning the car off and waiting a little while, but now it wont turn on at all. my fuses are fine at the battery and the amp. power and ground seem to be in check also. Maybe time for a new...

fixed my problem, my 2 channel MA Audio was the issue all along. swapped it out with some crappy old jensen and my front speakers now work again with no noise. i guess after running my old amp bridged for 4 or 5 years, it finally decided not to work in 2 channel mode. time for another upgrade. lol

the 2 channel is a MA Audio 289i M289i, Discontinued M289i, Discontinued Discontinued, Discontinued 2 Channel Amplifers i use to use it for my sub and had it bridged with no issues. i tried re grounding to different spots and removing any paint on the metal. i wonder if i could...

bump, still need help. i will elaborate more. i tried different ground techniques and no luck. front speakers are still real distorted at low volume. i'm wondering if i need to disconnect the factory speaker wires at the head unit since they are not connected to anything except the head...

i'm having problems with my new install. one amp is a mono block for the sub. (working fine) my other amp is a 2 channel amp powering the fronts until i can afford a 4 channel to do all of them. my sub works. my fronts are full of static and if i try to close the trunk, a loud buzzing noise...

yeah same here. i found a couple on amazon.com in the 140.00 range. Only one local shop near me carry's JL and no one out here carry's sound stream anymore. i was able to score a JL mono block at this site for 75.00 so i figured i would at least see whats out there. i'm probably going to get...

100.00 - 150.00

looking for JL audio 360/4 , would also be interested in soundstream 4 channel. thanks.

i recently purchased a JL Audio 250/1 mono block amp for my sub and i want to add another 4 channel for my interior speakers. currently i have my amp under the driver side seat but i know for a fact the new amp and additional one i want to purchase will not fit under the seat. the problem i...

Might need a new ignition switch. the ignition controls most of the accessories. i had to replace mine once and had it done by a local shop, it wasnt to expensive. maybe like 100 bucks. if the fuses are all fine, make sure you check all of them, not just the one you replaced. check the...
