Amp to Subs. Checked all connections and they seem to be fine. Deck works, all components work, but amp doesn't get any power.

What are some things to check for?

 

remote wire
that you remembered to put fuse in the power wire from battery (hey it sounds basic.. but I've seen ppl forget to put the fuse in and be like why doesnt my system work)
ground wire
everything is connected correctly (remote, power, ground, RCAs, speaker wires, amp to sub setup)..

even though they seem fine.. recheck ALL the connections..

 

I was re-wiring the power wire to the amp, and I think I saw a spark. I left the fuse in. Could something happen to my fuse or wire? IF so what do I do?

 

if all your wiring is correct.. check to see if the fuses are blown.. if so replace them theres fuses inline w/ the power wire and fuses on the amp.. the head unit should also have a fuse.. but if the head unit turns on it should be OK... check the amps and power wire fuses w/ everything OFF>.

 

How do I know if the fuses are blown?

 

they will look blown/the metal part inside will look melted..

sorry these are bad illustrations.. :

normally its something like this ====== (all connected)
if blown its broken like this === === (blown/melted..the metal fuse/contact doesn't connect)

yeah I know the illustrations suck.. but you get the idea...

if you saw a spark, you blew a fuse. Check back of amp, check radio fuse for car.

It was the fuse, burnt to a crisp.
Everything is good now.

Thanks for all the help.
