Huge Problem

[epeyton]

I have two 12" Kicker Comps, 1000W Crunch Amp, and Dual XDMA6330BT Head Unit.

I wired it correctly, and my speakers have been working fine for about 2 months now. My battery died 2 weeks ago, and I replaced it with a new one. I hooked it up fine and my system was still working. Then, about a week later, my stereo would not work. I checked all of my wiring, and everything seems to be connected fine. When I turn the ignition, the head unit's backlight LED powers on, so I know the head unit is getting power. The LED on top of my amp does not power on anymore. Nothing works at all. I can't even play CD's or listen to the radio through my car speakers. Please help.

Note: I have checked ALL of my fuses, and none of them are blown.

there's your problem...

did you check all your amp's connections? Maybe the remote wire got loose

Is your head unit powering you mids/highs or do you have another amp for that? If they are powered by the receiver then there is something wrong with it and it probably has nothing to do with your amp.

And like someone else said, if the remote lead to your amp is a bad connection then your amp may not be getting the "signal" to turn on. This, again, could be a problem at the head unit.

Do you have another head unit that you could try?

I think im just gonna send my head unit back and get a new one. Any suggestions?

Why not reinstall all your stuff, check ALL of your wiring, etc.

Get a multimeter and start checking all your voltages and grounds as well as fuses. Visually checking them does almost nothing
