[QUOTE="9-3turbo, post: 4136116, member: 587158"] Removing the cap was a good idea, actually just tried that. Without the cap it seems to barely be getting power... So I'm guessing it will work occasionally with a charged cap then the cap is emptied and it can't get power fast enough. The system is becoming extremely unpredictable though, sometimes the amp stays on and the speakers stay off, other times the entire thing shut down. I'm going to try and get a hold of a multimeter tomorrow for a few hours and test at every point for a 12v line. When I'm testing wires not near the amp can I put one end on the positive wire and one end on the chassis? I've never used one of these outside of the classroom before. Thanks for the responses [/QUOTE]
