Question:
Is there a way I can sort of "re-boot" my car audio system? My amplifier shut down (Autotek MX1500.1), and now whatever amp I try and hook up doesn't play? So what could it be? Should I just straight wire my power wire?

What kind of Amps & Speakers? Xplod?
serious wiring trouble now and down the road. an autotek amp seems to be a powerful amp but also the way the woofers are wired up could be the problem. take one of the speakers loose and see if the music will player. if so, do the same to the other speaker. it should only play for a little while and then shut the amp down to protection. after finding out this is your problem, change the wiring completely. matter of fact, change the wire itself. a lower gauge wire might also help to bring home the power. there is no way to reboot an amp. upgrade maybe. let do the math: 1Autotek amp 1500.1+4Audiofonic 12" woofers= drain for the amp.

i would probably just disconnect the battery and start over from scratch... that worked for me in the past! good luck!Start over from scratch, I dont quite know what you mean by "straight wire". Go back and check all connections and wires.

All high power car audio systems should be wired directly to the battery.
How do I reactivate my Corsa stereo system after a power interruption?
Check your fuse at the front batt. I know this is simple, but it's usually the simple things that keep us stumped. If the wiring was good before and now no amp works, maybe a fuse. Check all connections and try again.Be safe, good luck!
