[QUOTE="forbidden, post: 4561329, member: 552189"] Disconnect all speakers and the rca cables from the amp. Run a new temporary rca cable from the deck to the amp without burying it under the carpet. Buy that second cable so that you have full front / rear fade capability. Take a speaker that is known to work and wire it directly to the amp, again not burying the speaker wire in the car. If there is still no sound, chances are that the amp is dead (which won't surprise me as 1000w amps don't have 50 amps of fusing (your amp is maybe 40w rms x 4)). There is a slight chance that the outputs in the Alpine are toast but this is slim to none as far as that goes. Borrow a friends amp and try with his to see what the results are. If your amp works hooked up as above, connect the speakers to the amp one at a time and test after each connection. If one speaker wire is grounding out somewhere in the car, you will get no sound at all. [/QUOTE]
