Don't you love when you answer your own questions ! But check the fuse on the back of the headunit .

 
well there is no fuse on the back of the HU i've already checked but i don't understand it i've been running 2 12s off this radio for probably 6 months now with no problem except the wire being to small i know it's a shitty radio but it did get the job done earlier today before i changed my power wire

 
i checked the remote wire to but i didn't check the splice i have in it but i'm pretty sure that it didn't come undone but i'll go check that real quick

 
Nah bro, I was saying maybe your remote wire sent a spike of voltage to the head unit when you reconnected the amp. If your amps remote wire comes from the HU. But it never hurts to double check everything.

 
ok well it's a good thing you said something about the remote wire cuz i took the head unit back out and i'm guessing that when i pulled my old power cord out it caught the rca jack and ripped my hu power cord out of it's splice so now it's working thanks for saying something about the remote wire cause now since i fixed it it's working again yeah!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
haha good bro Im glad. Yeah sometimes it comes to having to have to take shit apart brochacho //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
ya and i would have never found it if it wasn't for you saying something about the remote wire i had something similiar happen in my last car to but i didn't have subs then haha but thanks for your help man 8)

Head unit floating radio info
I have a 06 grand Marquis. Looking at either Kenwood or Sony Apple play. Is it worth have a floating monitor? Pros and cons?
