Roadster that i've had for over a year sub doesn't work anymore but the sound from all the other speakers work. The guy did a ghetto install and i use the cig lighter in the back to power the amp that power the sub.

Now idk whats wrong with it. I checked the fuse on the amp and everything is okay and i get power from the cigarette adapter. Can anyone tell me other things i should check look for??

Worth replacing the whole setup? it sounded amazing when it worked so i dont really want to replace anything just tryin to get it fixed.

added some photos to the bottom

 

Err wait, you/someone used the power from a cig lighter power to power a aftermarket amp that powers a subwoofer?


If so, never heard of that before.... Pretty sure the cig lighter uses a 16 or 14 or MAYBE a 12guage wire, most amps want/require atleast a 10guage if not bigger (8guage is typically considered the min)

 

be thankful your car didnt burn up

 

lol i'm telling you it was ghetto lol so what should i do???

 

re do everything the right way and work from there

 

your remote wire prob got disconnected. which people sometimes tap it from the cig lighter.

 

everything looks connected even though i can see open wires

budget of about $200 whats a good redo?

 

Could you take a picture of what the amp looks like? So we can see if theres anything missing and how its actually hooked?

I would go and replace all the power/ground/start wire with atleast 8guage.

 

okay i'll get some pics up later today.

 

added some quick photos didn't know what to take pictures of.
