I have no idea... - 4/2/2007 8:31:52 AM    NubianSithLord Posts: 448 Joined: 1/29/2006 Status: offline What sup gang? I have a new problem, I drove to Chicago to pick up my wife this weekend and got pulled over by the cops. Anyway, they searched my car. I picked it up from the pound the next day all seemed fine. Loaded up the car with stuff and drove back to Clarksville. I usually don't play my sounds load when my wife is in the car so I noticed yesterday that my Sub was not working. I check my AMP (pioneer 750 max ) usually the light is green now its red. all the wires seem to still be hooked up and i checked the fuses even tried to change one but it sparks when I try to but a new in. Still no juice to sub whats wrong with my car? BTW I have a Pioneer HU and I still have the Fac Infinty speakers which are still working. One more thing my Fac amp blew along time ago so my HU by passes the amp to my speakers and my amp was added later. _____________________________ I travel at speed of need.

I checked all lines the one to the batt is still connected. but, I am getting nothing I should take a pic to show you. (I am not good with radios) the thick blue power cord is still connected as well as the skinny sytem wire _____________________________ I travel at speed of need. It’s not how fast you get there.

If that has a cut in it anywhere where it could touch metal and ground itself, itll send your amp into protect (which is whats causing the red LED.) Same goes for any wire attached to it, with the exception of course of the ground. Try disconnecting the amp completely waiting until any and all lights on the amp are off and then reconnecting. (Sort of like a hard reset for the amp.) (in reply to NubianSithLord) Post #: 4

Is there a way for sure to know if its my amp or speaker? I only have a 10" MA sub woofer/pioneer h/u and a pioneer 750max amp. with factory infinty speakers. My wife thinks I spend way too much money screwing with the Bat Mobile (you know how that is lol). Anyway, I need a sure fire way to trouble shoot this issue. if it is the amp I think I am going to the pawn shop and just get any old amp lol _____________________________ I travel at speed of need.

You could also just try bridging the pwr wire to remote via a small jumper wire. (in reply to NubianSithLord) Post #: 9
