I just bought an entire sound system for my '97 Civic, and after fighting with the 6.5" door speakers (Took about four hours to trim the buckets so they sat flush), the rear deck for the 6x9's, and installing the new stereo, I was pretty impressed with the acoustics in the car ... Until I hooked up my amp/sub - All wiring is correct, and amp turns on, but the amp's three LED lights are flashing red, and I get no sound at all from my subs - Anyone have any idea what the issue could be? I was hoping to be banging by now, and I'm sitting here getting ticked that I have no bass! :-(

 

Answered my own question - I forgot to sand the paint from the ground contact o_O

Another question, though - Are there fans I can get to keep the amp cool? It cut out three times on me because of overheating, due to no air circulation in the trunk :-(

 

WTH ... The amp pounded for about an hour, then had no power - Checked all fuses, and rewired, but the amp still does not have power ... Any ideas?

 

Figured it out, FINALLY - After re-wiring about 15 times, it turns out the 50 amp fuse was defective - Put a new fuse in as a last resort, and haven't had any problems since - Just goes to show that just LOOKING at a fuse to check it doesn't always work :-P

 

did changing this fuse fix the overheating issue you were having with this amp?
