$35 just to see if the amp worked. $35 I am beyond pissed off. The amp has no output meaning it was fried. I have spent $35 just to f***ing prove that the amp doesn't work. I then have to pay $6 to ship it back. That's more than half of what I paid for the amp. What a joke. The guys at Car...

$25 seems like a lot to just test an amp, but I guess I have no choice. I'll go tomorrow.

So I contacted the guy and opened up a case on Ebay. "Thank you for the updated information. I apologize for the problems you are having with the AMP. However, I can assure you the AMP had been used in my car for months and has never had any problems. It was professionally installed (I have the...

I turned everything up. No luck. The RCA cable in my car works. The signal cable, ground, and power all work. The sub and speaker wire, crappy, but work. Is it safe to assume that the problem is the amplifier? Did I get screwed over? I disconnected one of my home theater speakers and hooked it...

wtf? I just hooked up the speaker to my home theater. It doubles as a speaker??? More of a speaker than a sub, little to no bass. KFC-W2503 So the speaker and wire work, but the volume is very, very low for some reason. I'm going to go try the amp with RCA's hooked to the car again and crank...

Well I've tried all 4 wires I have and it's still not working. The subs worked on my home theater system, so it's either the amp or the RCA cables or the stereo. I bought the car used and it was prewired. I doubt it's the stereo. I tried swapping RCA ports on the stereo and no use. There's no...

What type of wire do I use to connect the sub to the box and then the box to the amp? The box has this cup built in. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1p-SPEAKER-BOX-TERMINAL-Subwoofer-Boxes-PUSH-IN-CUPS-R2-/00/s/MzAwWDQwMA==/$(KGrHqF,!lUE6CGSHDrsBOm4YTpj9!~~60_35.JPG Do I take the 16 gauge wire and...

Well, I hooked everything up again. It TURNED ON!!! While the amp did turn on with the car's stereo, the sub isn't playing. I connected the RCA cables to the far left red and white ports on my stereo. It's a Pioneer IB 3000...

I appreciate you going to that extent to help someone out. Thank you. I could have sworn the cables were connected correctly, but I guess not. I will set it up again in a hour or so when I have more time and take pictures before I actually connect the negative cable to the battery again. Since...

By hooking it up once I meant having everything set up and then connecting the negative cable to hear a loud pop from the trunk. Sorry if I was unclear. I barely received my first amp yesterday in the mail and the whole loud pop thing happened yesterday. I tested the sub that was connected...

That's the thing, I've only hooked it up once, and when I did, it sounded like a small gun shooting off in the trunk area... Should I try it again? If the fuse is still fine on the amp, does that mean the amp isn't fried?

I'm not sure how long it's been since this amp's been used. Maybe it was due to what you're saying? If the pop were to happen again...should I just stop trying? If the fuse is fine, that means the amp is fine too right??

Ok, so it all comes down to, should I try it again later today? If the fuse is still good on the amp, does that mean it still works?? http://i.seimg.net/images/163977/big/kac8104d.jpg On my amp is has 4 ports for speakers even though it's a mono amp. (+)(+)(-)(-) How do I wire it for one...

This is my amp. http://i.seimg.net/images/163977/big/kac8104d.jpg For 1 subwoofer, where would the positive and negative go? There are two positives and two negatives. I thought my connections were fine, but apparently not? Would the pop sound come from a messed up connection of pos+neg...
