i've just found a manual on the amp and my combination of fault lights don't even exist!

RED (power) and yellow ( fault circuit) are on together, they don't say n e thing about that combo :boggle:

i've tried the earth cable from the other amp ( which works) and this amp still will not work :(

i had a glimmer of luck though - it came on as jsut a red light, then it blew a fuse....

think i might have to take it back might be a dud :(

a lot of poeple drill through the spare wheel area.. Be sure to scratch off all the paint and use a self tapping screw to hold it in place. Probably the best place to ground the amps ;)

i've got me fuses now, and wired the whole system up fine, one amp works on its own, by my new kicker will not.

and they won't work together - the component amp just hisses through the speakers, but with the new kicker disconnected it works fine :mad:

it's earthed, it ain't blowing n e fuses but it will not come outa protection mode..

what can i check for?? im sure the earth is ok cause i tested the other amp and it works fine...

HELP!!!
