My brand new amp died while listening to music

Athugaðu vír frá rafhlöðunni til Amper, ef þú ert með þétti athuga og sjá hvort það sé einhver máttur í gangi til þess.

Einnig athuga Sameinar á Amper, og það ætti að vera öryggi á vald vír hlaupandi frá rafhlöðunni til þétti eða Amper. Einnig að taka nokkrar myndir af Amper / battery / þétti og vír hookups

If it isn't a fuse, then there's most likely something wrong with the remote wire of nothing turns on.

That same thing happened to me before. I was moving some shit around in my trunk earlier that day. Rode around that night listening to music then all of a sudden everything shuts off. Later i troubleshooted and found out I had shorter my remote wire out

You SHOULD have a fuse holder with a fuse somewhere near your front battery that is connected to your main power wire going to the amp. Pull it and see if it popped. Not that hard. Sounds like what happened.

Checked the fuse box earlier that day after googleing. Saw one that popped, but that was called “backup radio”. Bought a new one but nothing changed.

This is the only answer on this thread that got translated to Icelandic – but still I cant understand it, well some of it. Stupit google translate.

The capacitor is dead too, just about everything in the trunk.

I took some photos, hope it’ll help. 

Exacly the same thing. So, where is the remote wire – or should I just google it?

So, I saw a blue thin cable(the remote wire?) that was connected from my speaker amp to my woofer amp, and under the carpet to the HU I guess. Nothing seems to be wrong there.

Here are some pics, hope they help 

Here is the link to the photos. Let me know if there is anything missing or not photographed well enough.

if it was me,i'd ditch that magic capacitor and see what happens.could be that its dead.i'm sure you know they will only hurt your system not help right ?

I don't think it is the cap as it would still get power and show some voltage even if the amp was dead or not on cause of the remote wire, correct?

The fuse you need to check is the one attached to the red wire at your battery. There should be one connected right to that wire. It is not inside any "fuse boxes". I have a feeling that is what blew.

If none of the amps are cutting on at all. It's either remote wire, fuse, or a disconnection of the power / ground cables somewhere.

This thing you are talking about ace_800?

How can I tell if it's blown?

Yes, look in the glass above the 150A word. There should be a metal piece that connects both sides. If you don't see anything or its not connected then its blown. That is why nothing is getting power.

Just go back to the shop IMO. They should take care of it, whether its blown fuse or amp.

 

[tc300 10+ year member]

And get rid of that cap!!! Lol

where is that wire going to? it looks really thin no?

No, in his other pics you can see the 8ga coming from the battery positive. Not sure what that smaller red wire is, but he's hooked from the battery to the fuse holder to a splitter in the back to the cap then the amps with 8ga.
