Amp Problem

[kwschs 1]

Ok guys,

I've had a amp now for a few weeks pushing an 18" AA Chaos Sub. The Amp says its 4000 watts but I'm pretty sure it's only pushing about 1000 watts at 2OHMS.

It's a no name amp i got from a friend brand new for free, so I figure why not. I've been slamming it hard, but all of a sudden it shut off on me.

The name and model

Audio Tek AT-4000

The Fuses are all still good, but for the hell of it I put 3x 40amp fuses in that were brand new. No sound still.

I unplugged and reconnected all the cables, no sound still. I did a simple shut the car off and on , no sound. I check my Power Fuse Going to the battery, it's good , still no sound. There is a light on the actual amp, and as it always has is still lighting up green!

Please help, what do you think might be wrong? Is it blown?

Kevin

P.S. - Do realize im just the average audio enthusiast so please don't be too harsh, yet I know my way around so any help offered i should be able to handle when it comes to getting my hands dirty.

get a dmm, put it to ac voltage, unhook sub, put dmm on amp speaker terminals, tell us the number

(if u dont get a reading then the amp is probably boned..)

Ok, i stuck the meter up the Amp. It does get OHMS reading, but no A/C or DC reading, unless I am doing something wrong of course.

I dont know if this matters but the blue light on my bass knob unit still lights up also. Is the amp blown? Can I fix it?

try the ipod thing to rule out a headunit failure

check all your RCA cables too, it may just not be getting a signal (hopefuly haha)
