[QUOTE="nassd89, post: 8321114, member: 663323"] Hey guys. So I had a Lanzar vibe432 amp that stopped working after 8 months so I purchased a new one and hooked it up and its still not working. I take it to get checked and the dude says the old one blew and the new one is faulty or I must have ruined it when connecting it. Next day I try again and it turns on power but no audio output so I use an Aux-RCA cable to connect directly to my phone to see if something was wrong with the cables. When I played music the subs went on for a split second then the amp shut off. I used a voltmeter (its all I got) to check the power on the ground wire and positive wire and they dont give me any signal when the car is on. When i turned the car off i got voltage (12v DC+) on the meter from the positive wire to the nut/bolt where the ground wire is connected. I took the positive wire and lightly touched the bolt the ground wire is connected to and it made a spark then the whole ground wire started working but still only shows voltage when the car is off. The amp still doesn't turn back on so I'm confused ...any ideas whats going on?? thanks.. I'm a beginner to all this and I rather know myself before taking it to someone to fix. Any help is appreciated [/QUOTE]
