amp not working!

[jdrumstik]

I have a kendwoos KAC something series, 4 channle amp, feeding 35Watts to each channel. Im running a 25amp fuese like im supposed to. And what do you know it doesn't work.

okay here what i've got.


I have to wait till the 1st to order my cd deck. But I just got this amp, wired it up, I have a ground, wired in two speakers. okay rca in a LP player(I had it in my closet and didn't want to dig out the cd player from my stack) so I turn the car, allis good no signal. So I wire my turn on signal wire to the only rmaining post (it was ofeset) on the amp and then splice it into the antenna wire.

So the amp didn't work. I don't know whats up, any ideas? Or do I really need the deck for the turn on signal?

If you put the remote signal on the antenna wire, in order for the amp to work the headunit has to be on and on the radio. Are any of the amp's lights on?

[jdrumstik]

I don't think it has lights. i wired it to the positve terminal, and it still didn't work.

RCAs might be bad, try running just one speaker to one channel. Just fiddle around with different things.

the antenna wire is usually active only when you are listening to the radio, try connecting it to the ignition wire just to see if it turns on

Take it to an audio dealer or something and tactfully start asking questions..take him outside to look at it and see what they think..might fix it without you having to pay anything. IMO that would probably work.

alright, it keeps blwoing the fuses, every time, It could be my wiring but im pretty sure that its not. the only wiring thats in question is there was an extra terminal that said "p. (can;t remember)", and Im assuming that the turn on, but either way that shouldn't blow a fuse. and then there is a seperate ground over by the rcas witch I wired onto the main ground signal. So I think Ive got it all, and the turn on is wired onto the positive terminal for now, but since the fuse it out it doesn't matter.

you didn't accidentally wire the wires to the out put and the input to the speakers? please send pictures with a digital camera of wiring on amp.

[jdrumstik]

okay, I will try to get a picture in soon, that extra gound was if the RCAs have a external ground or something, probably some wired dated technolgoy. I downloaded a manual online. I've got all the wiring right.

the manual said that i 30 ampo fuse or 2 15s should be used. then on the amplifier itslef a 25 shoudlb used(it has a little insert) so the 25 never blows, but the 30 always does. Would it be better to switch to 2 15's?

and I THink that all my wires are correct, and none of the speaker wires are grounding out on anying.

i had the same problem with it not turning on i just spliced it in with the with the switched from the stereo works great now
