amplifier not working

[tsealsut2010 0]

ok i just got a new 9855 with 4 volt preouts and a used merlin m41 from flakko, and i go the 9855 to work, but when i hook up the amplifier, nothing, not even the power or protect light came on, but then today outta nowhere when i turn on the car, i hear this semi loud click noise, and the amp turned on and i could listen to music, but wasn't very loud, even at 20 volume. it then proceeded to shut off again, and now has no music coming from the speakers, and the amp's lights (power/protect) are off as well. i had this same problem with the last amp i had, before. and im sure when i put that one in it will have the same problem. anyone have any ideas? and i have speakers in my rear deck that are connected via the h/u, and they dont play either. answers, suggestions, comments.

sounds like a short somewhere in your wiring. you need to test all of your speakers and wiring. somewhere along the lines something might be touching, or blown.

good luck...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok so i got the back speakers to work and i tried the amp on my other wires for the sub amp. still nothing. where gunna check all the wiring sometime this week probably with a DMM and ill post the results and see what's going on with everything. i hope its just wiring...

I told you man...its that stupid H/U

[tsealsut2010 0]

the power or the protect light would still be on if it was the h/u though wouldnt it?

If the power light isnt on then its not recieving a signall to turn it on.

Maybe there is something wrong with the remote lead or its loose

ya I AM A check all that tomorrow when i get off of work. the remote lead is a prbable cause, we just twisted and electrical tape. I AM A solder it all together then use a solderless crimp terminal to get all three wires. and if that doesnt work, then its either the power wire, or the amp itself, but my guess is the power wire.

its always the flippin fuses i swear. and taking the paint off the grouds helps alil too, and that is why you never let cartoys do your wiring when your 16. aite well everything should work now. thanks for your help.
