So I think my amp is fried lol, I was listening to a song, then it went silent

so I pulled the fuses and they were both shot, so I put new fuses in and now my amp looks like this: http://oi55.tinypic.com/2u8dspj.jpg

The red triangle is very dim, like barely on, but it's on, before i swapped the fuses, it was off completely

it's supposed to look like this, bright red triangle, and a bright blue bar, like so: http://oi56.tinypic.com/15dqm9l.jpg


so chances are... I need a new amp? lol

2 12s, ive already come to the conclusion it's not big enough to run those well, I just want to try to see if it's still working so I can resell it

and yeah, same fuses that were in it

I have that same amp, two of them powers two Type R's really well. Mine did that same thing when my ground wasn't solid so don't forget to check that.

This.

Another thing:
Most people dont know how to properly ground an amplifier.

Sand Metal
Drill Hole
Use Bolt w/ Washer

I did this underneath the trunk latch. Sanded all the contact below the latch to bare, sanded all the paint off of the inside of the latch plate.
Drilled new holes through the plate and support for the plate, washers on both sides. Amazing ground.
