blew some fuses..

[shammyhavik]

so today was the beautiful day that i recieved my sq 2200 in the mail. now i know what ur thinking but i didnt blow the 2200.. yet ahah

anyways when i hooked the 2200 up there wasnt enough power available thru my stock electrical and 4ga OFC. i didnt even get a signal.

so i hooked back up my re 3000 when i forgot to unplug the power and sure enough one spark led to another and the fuse on the re ztx 3000.1 blew. i replaced all 4'fuses with 30a then replaced the inline under the hood with a 150a from a 120a.

for some reason my subs aren't working and my amp doesnt even power on or read voltage

that size cable isn't why the amp didn't turn on.

I bet my entire wealth I could power that amplifier on with all 18awg wire.

You need to fix the power\ground wiring first.

Once that's done, then put the amp back in and then we can start troubleshooting why it's not coming on.

Sounds like your power line is shorted to ground.

i grounded it myself with a drill and wire brush straight to the chassis above the wheel well.

That's ridiculous low!

You need to manually charge your battery back up before driving anymore.

You risk losing both the battery and alternator.

invest in a 1 amp battery trickle charger, it will save you many batteries to come. If the remote voltages dont improve, you might need a thicker run of remote wire. Check resistance at all power and grounding points also.
