I think i found the problem. I was cleaning the corrosion off all my connectors. I folded down the other half of my back seat and found this!

So I connected them to look like the other set.

Speakers work now!

Although, I did try putting the old fuses back in and it stopped working so apparently those did need to be replaced.

I would like to thank akheathen, loudrc, CRXBMPN, and Spooney for their help.

Thanks you guys!

Apparently, the next logical thing to do was to play some mechwarrior...

I wonder if i could just plug my battery charger into my car's black and red wire and just use my car as a mech simulator lol...

oh, that is cool, it went into protect mode. normally, a protect light illuminates, letting you know there is a problem. oh, and i have been in ca since the 90's, too, and have seen caps pop more than i care to see happen. 2x personally. it usually only happens, when there is a battery discharge in freezing temps, so i tend to be tentative about powering up an amp in question. i've been able to save a couple, and replace the caps, and some ended up needing full power fet replacement. anyways, nice amp you have there, and have fun.
