[QUOTE="A-Roids, post: 6042719, member: 611635"] Hey So I have a RF p325.1 mono amp... was working fine until a couple days ago when the amp suddenly wouldn't work. I checked all the connections and fuses and they were all solid, but when I checked the ground, there was a lot of rust on the spot I used in my trunk for the ground connection. I figured all I needed to do was get rid of the rust and it would be back and running, so I cleaned it up nice, and rewired everything. The amp still wouldn't turn on, but here's the weird thing, I unhooked the ground wire again, took a call, and forgot to re attach it to the body of the car, when I turned on the car the amp turned on with the thermal light on. I thought it was a sign that the amp was fine, but when I re-attached it to the body of the car it wouldn't turn on at all? Is this due to a bad ground wire, bad grounding area, or a blown amp?
