AMP power problems

[apatel501]

I took my system out of my car about 8 months ago because i needed my trunk because i was moving. I just got back to putting my system back in..and i thought it would be real easy, because i had left all the wiring in the car, ij ust had to hook it up.

I have a Hifonics Brutus 1500D amp with a 12'' Kicker L7 in a custom box with a sweet pioneer head unit. This thing is AWESOME when its working...and thats the problem, its not.

It seems that i have all the wiring correct, all the grounds are good. For some reason, its not getting any power at all. The connection at the battery terminal is pretty good too. The blue LEDS on the Hifonics amp wont even light up. The only thing i can think of is that it shorted somewhere..or the speaker wire in the sub came loose, i have yet to check that. Otherwise..everythign else seems like its right, and the fuse is still good too.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what might be wrong besides the amp being shot??

thanks in advance!

check to see if your getting 12v. you either blew the fuse up front or shorted the remote wire. is my guess

Make sure that your remote wire is still good and that no fuses are blown. Those are the first things you should check for always.

If you have a DMM or test light, check the wires and see if they're getting power.
