    Hit bump, now I clip, no sound, PLEASE help

    I give up. I honestly do. I would give up my pinky to have this work. I put a new amp in with just the power, ground and remote. It turned green a little bit. Now I have REDIC whine that gets worse with my reving etc. It's unbearable. Now my sub amp won't turn on at all. Nothing, no...

    After work I plan on picking up some more fuses. I bought all they had at radio shack (6), but now I need more. Going to swing by Ace and Depot if need be. First I'm going to unplug the subwoofer speaker cable (and RCA) and see if it turns on & doesn't blow a fuse, etc. Then if it still...

    Funny. I make fun of ricers all the time. I spend thousands tracking my car every year and am far from a 16yo ricerboi. Anyways... Ok, I think I fixed half of the problem. The component amp used to go into protect when I plugged in the left RCA. If I plugged in my iPhone I would get sound...

    Even with the engine off I get the same result so I don't think it's the alternator. Good idea on the power wire thru the firewall. That could also have worsened with the bumps I hit and explain things overall. I have it secured with ties on my front strut but can probably pull on the base a...

    Ok, this morning I tested it again. Once again, with only the component amp connected I turned it on and still had all clipping and no sound. Then I unplugged one of the RCA's (the left) and everything sounded FINE in the right channel. This would eliminate grounding for the amp no? With...

    I have my sub amp with the blown fuses detached, as I said it keeps blowing fuses. I have an identical one I can test (which may be my next bet) I somehow doubt it's a speaker wire if I got them to play off my ipod right? Now it seems my component amp is only going into protect and playing...

    Ok, so I bought a new battery (Optima yellow). Regrounded the headunit. Retightened the amp remote wires, etc; however, it's still broke. I saw I had some blown fuses on my sub amp so I replaced them. They immediately blew again. My component amp's don't though. I tried to plug in my ipod...

    Hit a bump, now my system doesn't work (clips). I've installed several car audio systems so I know my way around fairly well. Recently, I hit a bump and my 880PRS started to clip and the speakers eventually shut off. When I turned it on, I would get hit pitched squeals and more clips (from the...
