So I hookup my new alpine deck (9831) and i have a pioneer 12" sub and Rockford Fosgate Amp (punch something) and i have the power going to "B+" on the amp, Ground is grounded in the bottom where the spare goes and connected to "GND" on amp, i have the positive wire from the sub run to (+) on amp and Neg on sub running to (-) on amp. The wires running from the amp to my headunit are pluged in and I spliced the "Turn-on" wire into the Blue wire off my harness. Started it up and nothing at all.

I can not figure out anything that is going on, the little red emblem that is supposed to light up doesnt even light up, yet i know there is power running to the amp because I have checked it w/ a light. Now I did get the amp to light up but im not sure how so i do know the amp isnt broken.... Any suggestions would be very helpful, maybe a amp wiring diagram or something....

 

Th amp turn on lead on Alpine HU are blue/ white, the blue wire is a power ant. trigger wire, and will only have power on it when the radio is on, that said, if you want to check to see if the trigger is working, use a jumper from the B+ to the trigger on the amp to see if that turns on the amp, if not, and you have checked the power and ground, then you have a problem with the amp 94

check your remote wire!!

also, i'd use a voltmeter to check your power and ground... sometimes the inline fuses go bad, and look like they are still good... i've come accross a few cars that had that problem in my car audio days....

 

yes..remote wire!

almost sure thats your prob.
