soundstream amp trouble

[Nate_Kickercomp]

I have a soundstream 600.2 bridged to 4 ohm running a single kicker comp vr 15''. The amp had been running just great for about a month until my dad borrowed my car from me for a day. When i got the car back i immediatly took out the amp and sub without listening to them and tried to hook it up in my friends car. The amp light would come on green and eveything but no sound. So we tried hooking up a different sub...no luck...we hooked it up in my carand the same thing happened..no sound. The wierd part is when i unhooked the amp the power light stays on green even though nothing it attached to it. Is IT blown or what?? Please help cause my last amp blew and i really need to know if this one is. thanks alot

Get ahold of a DMM, hook up the amp (with no sub or anything attached to the outputs), set the DMM to Volts AC, and play some music or test tones (test tone prefered here). The DMM should read some voltage output....if it doesn't, then test the amp's power input and REM wire (with the DMM set to Volts DC) and be sure they both read atleast 12V. If the inputs read atleast 12V, but you are not getting any voltage on the output side, then it is likely that the amp is damaged.

Also...kinda obvious, but; Be sure the amp's crossover is set to lowpass and not to highpass.

Set the crossover to low pass. Why on gods earth would you want to her words from your Subwoofer.

DMM = Digital Mutimeter - ok not everyone knows this

Water??? are you serious. Water + elecricity don't mix.

Try some new RCA's. If that does not work the Input is fried.

You would have to take it back to the place you purchased it from. Do you still have the warranty???

Don't tell them the specifics of what happened. Try to contact them and get a RMA #.

And I don't think the dumbfuKK comment was addressed to you.

The amp might have an ATT switch, move that around to see if anything happens. Also see if it has some type of RCA switch that you can pick >4V input or

Yeah thanks alot...i checked and my rca's were in the outputs instead of the inputs so now it works. I cant thank you enough cause i would have never checked for that.
