Im usen a 1000watt amp and for some reason the remote wire is on but not the power? i tryed all kind of size of power wire and all my fuses are 30's what could be the problem?

ive used a 400watt amp before and it worked perfectly fine..i went and exchange this new 1000watt amp and still no power

ive searched but found nothing on the site

 

Wattage of the amp has nothing to do with anything...

And what the hell does this mean:

You should have one fused wire going from the positive terminal on the battery to the power (+) terminal on the amp. There should also be a ground wire from the ground (-) terminal on the amp.

Have you verified with a test light or multimeter that there is power at the positive terminal on the amp? If you test the amp end of the power wire and there's no voltage, then there is no connection to the battery.

 

Learn to speak english and explain your problems well.

What do you mean the power wire isn't on?

 

Yup did that, damn i should of thought about testing the power wire i'll do it again maybe tomorrow. what i mean is the Amp power isnt on lol my bad

 

Is your fuse blown? Your amp could be drawing more amperes than the fuse it has.

What brand amp? Is it 1000rms or peak? I'm guessing it's peak power and a sony

 

nah its not blown its peak and its an interfire IB-2900C amp

Definitely check your power lead with a test light, and I would also double check your fuse.

 

did all that and bought a giant fuse for it too..the test light lights up but the amp power still aint on

 

Well if you have power on the amps power lead and turn on, [amp control] lead and a good ground and the amp still will not turn on your Interfire amps fire has gone out.

A few other things, when you are checking for power on the power lead at the amp, are you doing it with the system on?
What size and kind if fuse in on the power cable by the batt.?
What are you using to test, a multimeter or test light? 94

 

im usen a test light..and im doin it with the system on..and the fuse is a 80amp on an 8guage wire

 

I think your amp is toast. 94

 

my old amp is da same kind and i still have the same problem then i took it back to the car audio place and exchange it so i got a new one and still same problem and the amp is only about 2 weeks old man ionno i give up and i just sold my car too so maybe im gonna have another problem with this amp in my new car haha
