i installed a pyramid 1600watt amp and ss120 kicker subs with a 2100watt audiopipe amplifier kit. I wired everything correctly and my amp light would not turn on. I thought my amp was broken (even though it was brand new). i had my friend bring over his amp. when we tried that his amp, the power light flickered on and off and i didnt get sound threw the subs or tweeters. I drive a 1986 toyota celica. the head unit has been replaced with a recent model from sony and it has the amp remote wire attachment. My friend says my car just doesnt provide enough power. what is going on with my system and how do i fix it?

I'm so sorry to hear that....

But seriously, tell the forum what wiring gauge you used for power and ground, and how it is routed and where it is grounded...and about the remote turn-on wire.

You installed what speakers, subs and tweeters?

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

the wiring is 4 gauge wire (for power and ground). the ground wire is on a bolt connected to the metal frame of the body. The rca's are rockerfoscape twisted. the subs are wired with 16 gauge wire. The power wire runs next to the driver side door. the rca's run next to the center console.

And what about a remote turn on from that Sony deck...did you install it? And what about the tweeters that you said were MIA, did you install those?

the remote turn on is installed. the tweeters and the subs connect to ports in the back of the sub box. i havent even heard if the subs or tweeters work yet because the amp wont turn on. but as far as i know everything is installed correctly.
