40a is just what came with the wiring kit. A fuse which can not be bought at a store. lol

got a link to the kit

does the amp power light come on?

No lights coming on. Seems to be not getting any power or its dead. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

says 60a on the site. But 40a on the fuse. odd fuse.

you did something wrong, op

Yeah. Amp fuse is fine.

got a test light/multimeter? check the wire for continuity before the fuse is inserted, and after

Guess i gotta buy a meter. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. Just wanna know, is the amp ok? lol

probably, i doubt much could have gone wrong to blow the amp in what you did. just something isn't right

Would a remote wire short cause this? thinking of every possibility.

 

[hatedonmostly 5,000+ posts]

of course. without turn on signal the amp can't turn on. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if you want to do a quick test, run a wire from one of the fuses in the fuse box to the amp

The quickest way to find the problem is buy a dmm. You should own one anyway. Touch the neg pin from the dmm to the sheetmetal, and the positive to the rem wire terminal on the amp, then to the pos pwr terminal on the amp. If you dont see 12 volts at both terminals (with the engine off), you have a break in your circuit.

Im confused, that's a standard AGU fuse/holder, available commonly.

Check your grounds bro.Mossberg had this problem a couple weeks ago. Amp was going in and out, mostly out, and his fuse blew up under the hood. Amp was drawing extra current from the ground being loose. also you can use a short wire to go from 12+ to rem for testing.
