[QUOTE="ledvedder, post: 7947118, member: 645518"] I've installed a US Acoustics 4050 amplifier today, and it's not working. I have a Clarion CZ702 head unit. I decided to just amp the front speakers, and leave the rear speakers running off head unit power. I have the speaker wires going from the front speakers to channels 1 and 2 on the amp. I have the power wire connected to the positive battery terminal, the ground wire connected to a bolt of the floor of the car, and the remote wire running to the blue/white remote amp wire from the head unit. Also, I ran RCA cables for the front and rear speakers from the amp to the head unit. I may run the rear speakers amped in the future, so I figured I'd run the RCA cables for them also. I kept the old speaker wire that came from the front speakers connected to the wires from the head unit. When I turn everything on, I just get sound from the rear speakers. The power and ground lights on the amp do not come on. Any thoughts?
