Ok, So about a week ago my lost my one and only key to my car, today I got a new set, so I put the key turn the car to the "ON' possittion to listebt to a cd and tried to turn on the car but then I realized that I took the ingnition fuse off, so I replaced the fuse turn the car and NO SOUND when I looked at my amps the sub amp lights were barely lit and my 4ch amp had the "protect" ligth on... Why? Is it beause my battery is not fully charged? Could it be something else?

My system:
Unit: Pioneer DEH-P80MP with 6 disc Changer
Sub Amp: Hifonics BX1500D wired @2ohm 1000 watts
Subs: 2 Hifonics ZEUS ZS12
Voice Amp: Hifonics ZX4400
Spkrs: 2 Pair of Hifonics ZS6.5C Components

THX

You need to do some basic troubleshooting.  I'm assuming the stereo is coming on, correct?  First you need to address the protect light issue.  Disconnect the speakers and see if the light stays on- try to isolate the problem, then correct it.

Once you've corrected that, measure the amp turn on lead voltage at the amplifiers (you'll need a multimeter).  Also measure the constant power.  Then go from there.  If you have 12 volts at the amp power terminals but not the turn on lead you can try jumpering it to see if you get sound.  You get the idea, just basic trial and error.
