Help me with system issues

Im getting no output. My cd player seems to working normally, and my amp is green, and nothing is burnt. Cd player is a 4 year old pioneer though, so i figure the rcas went. I dont have any friends that have systems, so how would i go about testing outputs on my deck and the output on my amp? I dont have any other cd players or amps.

X2 DMM at AMP input. That way you can test both outputs on the headunit, and the RCA's themselves.

Yeah I wouldn't want to own one as it's not like you'd ever use it again for any car audio issues. They're over rated and a total waste of $20 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Mine was a lifesaver. Remote wire broke under the insulation. I triple checked all my connections, amp had power on the 12+ and the negative. I got the voltage at the unit, output was 12. I measured the voltage at the end of the remote in my trunk, zero. New run of wire, amps turned on right away.

DMM=great ivestment.

Do you have a boom box with RCA outputs, or a home CD player? Just drag either one out to see if you get sound out of the amps. Be careful if you use a home CD player that does not have a volume control because you will have a full bore (cranked) signal coming from the RCA outputs.

Hope you solve it.
