Amp wont turn on.......has no power

[SlickCMRick 10+ year member]

Hey, I was just recording some videos of my subs and all of a sudden, the subs stopped working........so I checked the ampp and the power light isn't on. The amp isn't hot......I really don't know much about this, so can someone explain to me how to check my fuses? If I blew a fuse, how hard is it to repair? I'm just in panic mode right now

u check the fuse like any other fuse, u pull it out from the side of the amp and see if it's blown apart (metal pieces or plastic casing shows burn marks and the metal conductor isn't connecting. Dont forget to check all ur fuses. Than if nothing works test the power wire at the amp to make sure there's power going there, than check ur remote wire for power.

can i just pull the fuse out of the amp, or do i need to do something before? like disconnect a wire

Just pull the fuses and inspect them visually. If they are blown it should be obvious.

i pulled each one out and they all look fine

how expensive could replacing a fuse be? i know my car is pulling too much current because my alternator isn't good enough

it sounds like you could get seriuosly lost trying to figure this out. they shouldn't have a problem looking at their own install.
