it a profile california 2400, the transistors are black and so is the board right around there, but none of them are broken or anything, i cant just solder it back together or something?

please help! when i first had the cassette deck last week it didnt have rca cables so i bought a speaker level converter thing and hooked it up to the HU then the wires from the converter into the R+ and R- screw down terminals on the amp, then from the amp i hooked the sub wires on top of the...

i keep on reading stuff online, information and what not, i got the concept that lower ohms are better? but what exactly are ohms? like a "load" is a set of speakers? i just want someone to maybe give me a firm explination of what an "ohm" is. thanks.

well at first to see if i had everything hooked up right i just popped the hood and hook the batt. + to the + on the battery and the ground - to the - on the battery. well when i tried just the + on and the ground to metal, the HU wouldnt power on, so i took the ground back to the battery and it...

there is a red strip ontop of the amp, it has a redish looking cover thing, even when turned off, then when it powers up it glows red. here is a pick of the amp. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38638&item=7956456966

how can you tell if an amplifier works still? because i just picked up a new durabrand HU today since the cassette HU i had didnt have rca outputs i took it back and exchanged it. i hooked everything up and the amp powers on but when i hook the speakers up i dont hear any sound. i have a profile...

well how im running everything is.... batt. wire to + on batt.- ground wire to - on batt. cause no other way will work for me? then i have two long wires running to the + and - on the battery, and inside the truck i hook them up + to + wire on batt. and ground to - wire on batt. then that is...

ok well last night i thought i had everything hooked up right and i ran the speaker wires into the high input on the amp then from the SAME place i had the speaker wires running from i hooked wires from the speaker level converter to it. then as i was hooking up the ground for the amp it started...

yeah its a long strip on top of the amp that is red. i thought maybe it was the power cause if i turn on the HU the amp takes about 10 secs then it powers up too, and when i turn the HU off the amp turns off. so it might not be in protection mode?

well i think i know why im not getting any sound now that i know for sure that i hooked everything up right. i have a profile california 2400 amplifier and when i turn the amp on a red light on the top comes on and stays lit the whole time i have the amp powered up. does this mean its in...

just re-soldering the lead as best as you can, be careful not to get any on the cone or any metal cause it will burn. re-soldering will be cheaper than getting a different one, only get a new one if you werent satisfied with the sub when it worked good.

well i printed that out and tried it, but it didnt work, i guess i will just have to see if someone alittle bit more experienced will do it for me or something, but i kinda wanted to do it byself to get more experience with car audio. thanks for all the help, here is a link to the converter, i...

i printed out what you wrote so i could do it exactly how you said to, and i hooked the rca's from the converter to the amp, hooked the neg. pos. wires to converter, then looked on my amp and there are no outputs for anything at all, the rca jacks say input, the slots for speakers say hi input...

thanks for the help, ill go out right now and try it out then come back to update, thanks so far though!

i tried to rig it up today but im just not getting any sound, i put the positive speaker wire from the head unit to the A1 slot on the converter, i put the negative speaker wire in the A2 slost on the converter, from that i have my rca cables, one is white the other is yellow, i have them...
