Trouble Shooting Amplifier

[TheNewbie]

So i tried to install my amp today and it didnt work.....

steps i did.
1. disconnect negative battery
2. pulled a wire from battery(+) to amp -Not connected yet
3. Connected ampflier ground
4. Routed 4 RCA cables(2front 2 rear) + blue amp on remote to amp from HU. I connected the blue amp remote from amp to a blue/white wire in my HU. My HU is http://www.corral.net/Tech/Audio/sonymp3player/Page_04
5. i connected the subwoofer to the amp using the 2 rear rca outputs from the amp.

Then i put in the fuse which connects to the battery(+), and replugged the negative terminal.

Now the amp doesn't seem to turn on. My original 4 speakers still work. When i turn off my car, the HU starts beeping, which signals that the detachable faceplate is not removed. However, the HU guide said the beeping will stop if i connect it to an external AMP. So....how would you go about trouble shooting it?

How can u tell if your fuse or equipment is dead??:X

The Amp light turns on, is it safe to assume that the fuse and amp is fine? So will it most likely be my wiring either from the HU to amp and amp to sub???

[WhiteRabbit]

if that amp light turns on, everything is connected properly

so you arent getting sound then right?

the sub is probably connected incorrectly

you say "5. i connected the subwoofer to the amp using the 2 rear rca outputs from the amp."
subs are usually connected to the amp with speaker wire, not RCAs...maybe thats the problem?

the RCA out on the amp is usually meant for connecting it to another amp

Ohh i meant
HU => 2 rear RCA => RCA Amp input=> bridged output => subwoofer.

So the woofer is connected by speaker wires from the speaker output.

If you need help with your audio system I suggest you go to the audio and security forum on the main forum page. Unless your wiring a OEM camry radio...

Just tought I could help the newbie

But anyways, i fixed the problem. I redid the wiring to my subwoofer.
