[QUOTE="JuicyJohnson, post: 8698512, member: 679123"] Got a rockville db14 amp a month ago, powered my 10” sub (alpine type r dvc) for a few weeks, but it would shut down at about 85% volume (gain was probably set a tad too high). Usually it would turn back on after a couple minutes, but when this happened again yesterday, it would not turn on again. Today i took out the multimeter and took voltage measurements from the remote and power, while also making sure the ground was clean and doing its job properly. After disconnecting these wires from the amp, the power measures 12.5v, remote measures 12v and the ground is good. The problem here is when i re-connect the wires to their ports, the remote wire reads 11.5 - 12v, and the power wire reads 1.5v(thus why amp wont turn on). Does this mean the amp is toast? I know there’s definitely 12v flowing through the power wire from the battery, but it’s like the amp won’t accept current or something... both 50amp fuses are good, as well as the fuses under the hood.
