Sound system stopped working.
Well last night was driving around and turned the system up. I have a soundstream 4 chanel amp eclipse head unit and some infinity kappa component speakers and a sub.
Well I was driving and then all of a sudden the music just cut out. Radio was still on and iphone was still connected to it.
Unplugged and would not come back on.
Tried radio everything.
Then in the morning plugged my iphone back in again and it worked just fine. 5 minutes later cut out again and has not come back on since.
I checked the power cord going to the amp and was good. Checked off battery and was also good. Ground was good.
I can hear the amp clicking on when I plug the iphone in but no music.
Anyone know what the most likely issue would be? Don't know a whole lot about sound systems or anything but definitely need my music back. Did a 2 hour drive with the top up and no music and was not fun with all the rattles lol.

Anyone have any ideas of what to check? What does that fuse box look like if bad coming off the battery for the power to the amp? Looks fine to me but not sure what to look for really. I can hear the amp like click on though so doubt that would be the issue.

Gain access to the amp, check to see if it's in protect at all.
With a DMM, 12vdc at the remote connection at the amp with the HU on, also verify that the main power connection has 12vdc.
If yes to both make sure there is AC voltage in the RCA's when there is music playing.

Damn that would suck. Really don't want to spend money on an amp now.
Worse case scenario if it is. What is a good 4 channel amp to get? I don't want to spend a lot and even used is fine if it is good.
I have 2 infinity Kappa component speakers, Eclipse head unit, Infinity Kappa 10" sub.
I had 2 channels going to the speakers and the other 2 bridged to my sub.
