i have two kicker cvr 12's am just bought a crunch powerzone amp (the black one). everything worked fine. than a couple of hours later i got in my car to go to the store an nothing worked..the crunch letters on the top of the amp light up. but the green power light on the side does not light up nor does the red protect light up. the fuse in the power wire i replaced it. an the 2 50 watt fuses on the amp are good. i checked the back of the head unit to make sure the remote wire was connected properly. everything is hooked up correctly but no response.

i have a 2001 chrysler sebring

Have you checked the resistance of the subs to verify they still work?

Gonna have to check it with a meter. Check to make sure it is getting B+.

My guess is that the LEDs in the logo are powered from the remote turn on wire.

The amp could also be fubar.

i had a similiar problem, i had power to my 2 amps but no sound, i checked everything all my wires and connections and everything was good, my problem was my battery wasnt strong enuff. got a new battery and my system worked, but now my battery gets drained really fast, cause of my alternator, the only thing i cud think of wud be ur battery or your alternator. but i cud be wrong. check your battery and alternator.
