I just got an amp from my brother. I've ran all the wiring properly, but I'm getting no power to the amplifier. Any suggestions????

Have you checked with a volt meter to make sure you are getting power to the amp?

The amp fuse is good. What's a happy ground? I ran a remote wire that came with the install kit.

Hey DYohn, I am thinking about changing my screenname to I am INVISIBLE. Do you think we can do that?

Or maybe change it to MemberFormerlyKnownAs IAmAnIdiot

I too do not know what a happy ground is, but I bet I could figure it out if I had a volt meter.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
