check your fusing, and your grounds. also make sure you've got good connections at the amp

Ground should be the same size or larger than your power wire. That's issue #1. Visonik amp + Sony Xplod subs + Schosche wiring kit = disaster. No matter what way you look at. Browse this forum, sell what you have you, save up some money, and try again.

this also true. check out Amp Installation Kits, HDMI Cables for a real wiring kit at a very good price. but until then check and check again your wires,and fusing

I had an amp that didn't wanna work one time. Told her if she didn't put out I would put her in the GD trunk... she decided she wanted to put out then...
