[QUOTE="chronicmayne, post: 8475477, member: 668962"] Ok so I went to the local Audio Express so they can check out the system. It was 73 dollars. They tested the amp and says it works but I still have assumptions it might be dead. They also tested the speaker and said it was fine. So then they check out the wiring, everything went to the right place they said. (they seemed to be ok with a ground to the rear seat belt bolt, sanded down) Then they told me the power wiring was too thin. They then want to charge me another 80 bucks to put in new wiring lol. I run to home depot and pick up some thick wire just to test. Wire it up to the battery with a fuse, and wire it to the amp. The amp still goes into protect when I turn up the volume. On the way home from Audio Express the amp was on but nothing came out the speaker. RCA issues? This has been fun. Going back to Audio Express will cost me more money I dont want to spend. [/QUOTE]
