Question:
I haven't blown my speakers, that I know. They won't work for a week and then one day, the bass comes on out of nowhere. Someone told me that it could be a fuse. Does that sound right? If so, how do I know which fuse it is that is bad?

HELP! PLEASE! how to get factory codes for a stereo?
No, it can be any one of the power cables. It's not the fuse. If it were the fuse it wouldn't turn on at all. I doubt it's the hot wire.The ground sounds like a possibility... check the location of the ground, remember to try to keep the length of the ground cable to less than 5 ft... and give it a solid and tight connection to an UNpainted bolt on the car body.
Does it matter what kind of fuses you put in your amp?
The remote turn-on wire can also cause that problem. It may not have good contact with where ever it is being connected to (fuse terminal, wiring harness, etc.). Check all your crimps all your wiring. Check the jacket of the remote wire and make sure its not shorting.
Why do my cds get hot while playing in my car cd radio player?
When the subs are working, take a look at the amp and see if it has power (lights on). When it is not working see if it doesn't have power. At least then you can isolate it as a problem with power and not with the audio signal from the amp to the speaker.
You either have a loose groung or a loose power cable.
I have a 2002 BMW 325I with a Business CD player. How do I chnage the clock time?
Fuses don't go in and out, they blow and they're done.How could I prevent my car lights from dimming when using my sound system?
Some things to check:
What is the best amp/subwoofers to put in my trunk?
Power wires (this includes ground) for loose connections.
How do i run two amps.at the same time?
The RCA signal feed for loose connection.
The remote wire for loose connection.
Look for the protect light on the amp when the event occurs, this may be due to running too low of an impedance on the amp or a sub shorted.
If nothing else, take your system to a qualified mobile audio specialist to have it checked out.
Help wire car stero into dash?
Shouldnt be the fuse, if a fuse is bad, then it should just "not working at all"Yeah... first response is right, you should have a loose cable somewhere... power or ground.
How to connect car stereo amplifier?
I would def. not turn it on until you absolutely know what's wrong with it so a improperly grounded or loose wire doesn't light your whole damn car on fire. Most likely you have a loose fuse, plug or wire. I would take it to a car electronics servicer like BestBuy because they install those.Good luck!
What are some 6 1/2 and 6X9 quality speakers for about $60 per set?
It could be a number of things, first I would check all your connections to your amplifier and to the speakers, something could be loose and my pop back into place when you hit a bump perhaps, check to see if any of your wiring is crimped or kinked. The first thing i would do, would be to re-terminate all your wires, cut them an inch or more back and then unshield the wire, it would be smart to buy new connectors at this point as well, which are only a couple bucks. Your friends are right it might also be a fuse, but doubtful, cause your subs would never work if your fuses are blown. Check the connection to the headunit and also to the battery, which brings me to my next point. If your battery is a couple years old, sometimes even less depending on the size of your amp, you might be simply running out of juice to support your car running, AND your amplifier. Try getting a bigger battery with more cranking amps, the people at pep boys or advanced auto should be able to tell you which batteries will better support electonic accessories. It never hurts to have an expensive battery, especially if its really hot, or really cold out, dont skimp on that, ESPECIALLY if you have some nasty bumps back there.sounds like you have a short in a wire at the speaker or at the radio or amp.
Has Anyone installed an Ipod adapter in a 2006 scion XB?
I say go with the fuse sometimes from overtighting it. it will break the fuse. Or your fuseholder might not be making contact. One more thing it could be the ground wire if you used a lug.Ive just about had it with you people sayin that its th fuse! Its NOT the fuse. The fuse either works or it dont there aint no sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt. The only thing that woul do that is a circuit breaker and thats jus wen it trips the circuit all you do is push the lever back down. Check all your cables ( power wire, ground wire, rca cables, remote wire)
Best Place to buy subwoofers/amps?
Yep, you definately have a loose connection somewhere whether it be the power wire, ground, remote, rca's, speaker wires.Hear me now, believe me later.
A Speaker under the bonnet of a car - how?
Get a friend with at least a little ex. to check it out. That's your best option if you don't know what you are doing and you don't wanna fork out money for a (un)qualified audio installer to do something so simple.
