Hey all, my current setup is a head unit, a 4ch amp powering 2 fronts and 2 rears, and a seperate amp(2) powering the sub.

I took the sub and its amp(2) out as they are unsecured, and i was going drifting at calder park.

All was good, with the sub/amp(2) out, and the other speakers still worked fine on the way to calder and back. Then when i put the sub/amp(2) back in, the entire system stops working. all the other electricals still work, i.e. head unit lights up and says its playing, but NO sound. I took the sub/amp(2) back out again, and now the other speakers work again (but obviously no sub).

I checked the fuses in amp(2), and they seem to be fine. I'm quite sure i wired it all up correctly, as I labelled the wires very carefully, and put lots of tape around each wire ending while i was drifting so that they wouldn't short out as well...

Any ideas? Music sux without bass :D

might have damaged something when removing it? did you take the insulating tape off when you put it back together?

is the fuse in engine bay? is there another fuse on the amp? maybe your sub/amp just decided to give in...

does the amp turn on??...does the light come on??...thats the first thing to check if not check ur fuses and if u have a test light or mulitmeter then check if u have battery and trigger on the amp and make sure the earth is secure...

It is possible that u could have shorted the amp when u reinstalled it if u wired up the power first...all it takes after that is to short the screwdriver to the chassis of the amp when screwing the speakers back in and u will damage the amp...i have seen it many times happen

      At least you're now aware of the problem and can come up with a solution.

      1. No need, it only gets used once then is locked in place by the nut 2. EN-62 point 6 shows the conical washer the other way around (BTW I know we discussed above, I hope you are changing the idler as well, while it is no guarantee the bearing is a actually bad, it looks terrible) 3. I'm not really clear on the question, are you worried because it was easy, not hard, to remove the custom timing trigger? As long as it doesn't spin on the crank (when the bolt is tight) all good 4. Yeah just make sure the brand is easy to read as it rolls past 5. The part number is on the listing under the description, 13023-42L00. Given there is a custom part on there for timing (presumably outside the cover), they may have decided to leave that off; I think I would put the washer in there as it also helps seal the timing case from crap getting in.

      Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
