[QUOTE="Kristiismean, post: 8815839, member: 686934"] I just listed my general troubleshooting steps, some you've already done. Start with a DMM and make sure it getting power, (then turn the ignition on, and make sure the remote wire is also providing power). if so, check the fuses on the amplifier if it has one to make sure it's not blown (also with a dmm if it's not clearly blown). if you have power everywhere and the fuse is not blown start checking your RCA's to make sure it's feeding the amplifier. I like to trouble shoot this with a simple headphone to rca cable and just plug it into my phone/mp3 player. If you do that and it still has no sound, check the outputs on the amplifier for AC voltage with your DMM when playing a test tone. No output ac voltage, hopefully it's under warranty. Harbor Freight has their $5 dollar dmm which will do all the above. [/QUOTE]
