Kenwood PS500F 4 channel Car amp Schematics or Service manual needed: Can anyone help with any useful links or resources. Ideally the schematics and service manuals themselves would be perfect!

It seems there's power going to the amp but no sound output. Anyone have any ideas??

So it's turning on- is there a power light or something?  I find it hard to believe that none of the 4 channels have any output.  Did you connect rca's to the amp from your head unit's outputs (make sure it's not in the aux in)?  Are there speakers connected?  If any of the speakers or wires are shorted it can send your amp into protect mode and you wouldn't have any sound. 

Connect power, ground, and remote only and see if the amp comes on.  Now connect rca's that you know are good to the amp from a source that you know is good.  Take a test speaker that you know works, and connect it to the outputs of the amp one at a time.  If you do all the above, and get no sound, the amp is dead- either have it repaired or get a replacement.
