What's the point of driving in this great weather with no tunes?!?
Partial system shutdown. Any thoughts?

2001 s2k with the following system.

Sounds like you lost your ground on the amp

 

Thanks. I'm glad to hear someone with experience say so. I assumed that I should be simply seeing the 14v between the pos and neg where it goes in to the amp, but I didn't know if it was that simple.

I haven't had enought time to pull the amp mount and trunk apart to get to it. I just thought that it was very strange HOW/WHEN it happened. Hrmmm. I'm going to have some garage time tonight to see if something blew or pulled apart.

 

I agree.

Also, I don't know if this even applies but I used to own an Orion amp. I found out that the amp body has to be isolated from the car frame or it will shut down. That was years ago and I don't know if they still design their amps like that.

 

Thanks. I got everything pulled apart and wiggled the ground wire at the frame and got it going. I don't know what the problem was as far as contact, but I'm loud and proud again.

Thanks!

 

Good to hear you got it sorted out. Should probably take a look at all your grounds and make sure you have good metal to metal contact (not just from the threads of the bolt/screw - but also between the cable end and the frame).
