[QUOTE="tomtomjr, post: 5970904, member: 610416"] 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... [/QUOTE]
