Sound System problem

bigboialvin · May 6, 2009

I have a all kenwood sound system
kdc-x592 headunit
kac-9103d amp
2 kfc-w3012 subwoofers
a 2 farad cap
but today it randomly stopped working
I checked all the fuses and they're all good
I kno the subs aren't blown
For some reason the display on the cap doesn't light nethier does the amp
What should i do??

check to make sure all the connections are tight, check the ground and maybe re-do the ground. Also, if you have any build up on your pos terminal make sure you scrub that off with the correct cleaner i see that a lot on peoples car when they bring them in. Since you are not getting power to your CAP it isn't RCA or remote connections but check those anyway, just to make sure the amp will turn on. For a cap not turning on, without looking i would say connections, then after you check them and you still don't have anything try to connect to the amp directly and see if the amp turns on at least.

just because the fuse in the power wire (near the battery) looks good...doesnt mean it is good...

cause thats happened to me before...replaced it even though it wasn't blown...been working ever since. have at least one fuse in the car for everything that needs a fuse, just in case...
