I Need Help!!!!!

[Randy Savage 5,000+ posts]

OK, I hooked up my new amp a few days ago to my old subs, MTX 6000's, and there was a light buzzing coming out of the speakers. So this morning I went outside and moved the placement of the wires around, jiggled a few things and such. Then I noticed that the speaker wire from the subs got wrapped around the power wire, so I moved it away and the sound was gone. Turn on my ca, and I got NO ****ING SOUND FROM THE SPEAKERS!!!!!I need help, I'm not that great with this stuff, I'm about lost right now. I'm gonna blow my truck up in a few minutes:banghead: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif

Do you mean there's no sound coming from your subs, or from your speakers?

Assuming, of course, that you checked all of the power cables and wiring connections, right?

No, the subs still hit, the amp and subs work fine, just the speakers stopped...could it be a short or a blown fuse or anything? The h/u is still on.

Well, it could be a couple of things...

It could be that when you moved some of the wires around, you could have jiggled loose some of the speaker wiring from the harness... but if that were the case and the harness just came loose, then the remote wire wouldn't be hooked up, either, and your amp wouldn't be turning on.

So, that said, I think it might be a fuse. I'm not sure why a fuse would blow affecting JUST your speakers and not any RCA hookups you might have to your subs, but then again I'm not as good with how HU's are set up to know either way for sure.

One way or another, I think it might be time to pop out your HU and take a look at the back (fuses / wiring harness).

Just checked all the truck's fuse boxes and the fuses on the amp and under the hood, everything is fine. Does anyone know if there are any inline fuses in the dash for the deck? I have no ****in idea what to do with this god **** thing

I'm like 95% sure that your deck has fuses, too....

You probably blew something inside the CD Receiver. Same thing happened to me and I discovered that I fried something inside my CD Receiver. It would be cheaper to get a newer CD player than to get it fixed, unless it's an expensive CD Player, then you might want to invest in getting it fixed or something

But the receiver is still sending signals, the sub is still playing, just the speakers went out.

Yes...but I'm sure I would have blown a fuse before I burnt up the RCA's...

True but maybe not if its a bad RCA channel in the receiver it could have failed before a fuse blew.. I would track and check all the wires and if its not a wire then it has to be either in the receiver channel or in the amp.........//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
