Amp not working

[Dane_Hogan92]

Hey guys my amplifier has stopped working

It was goin all good and working fine until i unpluged all the wires to hide them under my floor, when i plugged them back in, the amp came on put it is not putting out any power i have used a tester light to check. I have double checked that all the wires are plugged in the right spot.

anyone got any idea's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

ground issues?

Nah i dont think so because the amp has power because the light is on on it but it just wont put any power out

make sure you are getting a signal in.make sure you didnt plug the rca's into the pass-thru jacks if it is has them.

you must have had a wire touch some other wires when you took the amp out......a hot wire touching your rca jacks could blow the outputs on your cd player real easy...= no sound

that could be it but the cd player works fine and still has sound its just the amp

With everything hooked up correctly, take the outputs of the amplifier (where you connect the speaker to) and connect them to the power and ground going into the amplifier, it should even everything out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Your ground could be completely unhooked, and it still light up. The RCA outer shield is a ground. A very small one. Check your ground wire. 2nd thing to check... If you plugged the RCA's in before your ground wire, it can blow the internal ground inside the RCA. To test for this, take a small wire, ground it, then touch the outer part of the RCA while plugged in the amp (the shield) . One or the other should fix it. If not, you have another problem. Some amps will light up if the main/amp fuse is blown. Lights up off of the turn on wire (only saw a few amps that did this) . 3 things to check... That is all I can think of...
