Donating Members 2,852 Member For: 17y 1m 25d Gender: Male Location: Vic Somewhere - Sometimes NSW Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Mate -Can you be a little more specific...How many amps have you got?How are the subs wired? (as one connected or two on a two channel amp)?If it was working, you diss'ed your battery then all of a sudden it stopped working... Check you fuse running from the battery to the amp(s)... It may have blown with the re-connection of the battery...Also check that there isn't a safety feature on the amp(s) which may have triggered and needs to be reset...There is lots of things that could be causing this, however I (we other members) will need a little more insite...Did you reconnect the amp power to the battery when you disconnected it?Let me (us) know a little more mate...

smicky Go Pies!!! Donating Members 2,852 Member For: 17y 1m 25d Gender: Male Location: Vic Somewhere - Sometimes NSW Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Ok, you said the sub isn't working, and neither is the speakers right?Do you know if the speakers are running from the amp, or the icc unit?If both are not working, however the ICC unit is playing your CD's (assuming who ever wired it up is using this factory head unit and not an extra...) I would think the issue point is somewhere with the amp...Check that there is still power running to the amp, again there should be a line fuse somewhere which is running from the battery to the amp (might be in the engine bay somewhere)... Normally will look like a plastic round tube about the lenght of 1 and a half 'c or d' sized batteries...Check that the fuse isn't blown...I doubt that you did anything when connecting the guages, unless you have damaged one of the line connections to the amp... (assuming that the person that installed it soldered the connections and not just twisted them together)...1. check that there is power to the amp- either by the lights on the amp or test light/multi meter.2. check the amp fuse.3. check the connections to the amp, sub, and speakers etc...See where this gets u... and let me know...
