[QUOTE="lewshus, post: 7698008, member: 640747"] For the last 2 weeks I have been doing my install i have had no music in my car and its really getting to me. So yesterday I finish up connecting everything, connect the power wire to the battery, and turn on the car, ready for my ears to be flooded with joyous sound. Instead, i got nothing. I checked the fuses, and none are blown, checked all the connections and everything seems in place and tight. Here is my setup Pioneer avh-p1400dvd hifonics 1200.1D mono amp MB quart onx4.125 I have a 4 awg power wire going to power dist block and splitting into 2 8 awg wires. In the block I have 2 60 amp fuses. When the car turns on the letters on "HIFONICS" light up, but the power light doesnt. Neither does the power light on the MB Quart. I bought the light up fuses and they aren't lighting up either. I changed the 2 8 gauge wires to 4 gauge. Tested with mulitmeter and got 14.3 to the ground, and 14.3 to remote wire. However, i received 0 when testing the power. that was all with the car off. When the car is on, the ground and remote wire drop down to under 1 and still no reading from the power. I also installed a parking brake bypass that connected with the ground, the parking brake, and the remote wire. Would that be an issue? thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
