I'm confused :lol: is there power in lead coming from the batt?

If not is there an inline fuse in the cable
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Try to bypass the fuse just to check if it works?

Thinking about it now it might be a bad idea when it comes to your sup and amp. Never the less, what i meant was taking out the fuse and using tinfoil or something instead, but probably not worth risking your sub lol

So power is going into the amp but not coming out? Just to clarify :lol:

Just check that any wires going to the amp have power
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

No powers going through the cables but when testing the cable on the amp side there isn't any power at all from the multimeter :(

Can't be my amp if my mates doesn't get any power either but when putting my sub and amp into his car does work

I'm doing more tests on them later on when I get home see what's going on
