Power Acoustik I am trying to install a power acoustik gothic amp and the red light on the amp is on. When I touch the ground wire to the amp the red light goes off but nothing happens. I am not sure what the problem is. I have tried to find a manual online but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

First thing to do is check the fuse. If it is still in good condition then you may have blown your amp

You can make sure no wires are touching an also tried wiring in a mode that does not put it at its maximum ohm load.

Most amps will show right on the amp by the speaker wire terminals if it is bridgeable.
Good luck !

I had the Power acoustik saphire 4ch and had to do the same thing. Use the Positive from Term1 (spkr1) and Negative from Term2(spkr2). Good Luck.

Could not get a manual for you but did get the follwing specs. Hope they help.

check the load on you spkr and make sure you playing amp in the right mode

you have a bad ground recheck your ground and make sure you have a good one
or the guage of your power wire isnt big enough

Make sure that the speaker wires are wired correct at both the amp and the speakers......otherwise it sounds like the typical death of a power acoustik amp (great amps, but prone to a premature death)

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_aad3edb7dfa380b9

have u connectted the remote wire from head unit to turn amp on? have u got + and - the rite way round.hope this of use.

Maybe the audio amplifier IC´s are damaged

If you're geting no lights on the amp, you need to confirm that you have voltage at the amp. If you haven't done so yet, check the on-board fuses.

With your multimeter set to DC volts, the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp (not on the point where the ground wire connected to the vehicle) and the head unit on (so the amp will have remote voltage applied), touch the red lead alternately to the B+ and remote terminals of the amp. If the voltage is below ~11 volts, you need to check the wiring feeding whichever line is too low.
