Symptoms of a failed LOC or something else?

[Chrisrizzy]

Came out of the gym early Tuesday night and start playing my system and all is fine, a minute later, my front stage and sub cut out, come back, and go away completely. Those two amps are connected to my AudioControl LC7i, the rear deck speakers are powered off of the factory amp and not connected to it. Those did not stop at any point. With that, I assume it is the LC7i that has gone bad. At home, I check everything and there are no blown fuses, including the one on the ground nor are either of my amps in protect mode. Everything is just off. Are these symptoms of a failed LOC or something and else? Please let me know, thanks

If everything is off then it seems like a power/ground/remote issue

By remote are you referring to the remote turn on or an actual remote (have the bass knob connected to it)?

Remote wire. If everything is off use a dmm to check for power/ground

Unfortunately, I do not have a DMM... May be able to borrow one from someone, though. Have noticed the fuse holder is cracked. Could that be an issue?

just pull on ground wire a little see if it's tight.. could just be loose connection to loc..

Fuse holder may be the problem...by pass it and see.

I don't see this being the LOC if you aren't even getting power lights. It would be a power issue. Burnt fuse, bad Amp turn on, or bad power/ground wire. More than likely it's the fuse holder or power wire somewhere.

I'll have to try and take a look at the fuse holder again. If I try press it together or using tape should it make a connection? Of course, I'll go get a new one after.

Also, how would I easily check the remote wire?
