us acoustics amp problem

[kronos98]

i'm having a major heartbreak guys. i installed my system a few weeks ago and had absolutely no problems.

however, i had some time this weekend, so i wanted to make the wire installation more "professional" so i tucked it behind the panel next to the rear seat. i saw a wire being grounded there (very thin), so i decided to move my ground there. before, it had been electrical taped to the mounting screw of my rear deck speakers.

everything was fine, until i noticed that i'd developed some engine noise. so i opened up the panel again. and while i was messing around and navigated the wires through my car, i noticed that the amp stopped working.

when i was messing around, everything was unplugged: fuse and power to the amp. when i hooked it all up again, the amp was dead. it wouldn't power up! do you guys know what the problem might be? do you think i fried it? or maybe it got bumped around too much? there is a green power light that comes on when voltage is passed to the remote on lead, but that doesn't even come on. someone please help!!

ok, now i've got a totally different problem with my amp. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

when i give juice to the remote on lead, the amp power light will come on halfway, then fade out. sometimes, i also get a pop sound.

is my amp just fu**ed up? and i shouldn't waste my money on ebay?

the us acoustics amps are weird, see if its overheating, also try unplugging ur negative terminal for a few mins, i had the same problem w/ it not turning on had to disconnect the terminal and it came back on after

yeah, if i turn it off for a while, then it'll turn on. is there anything that us acoustics will do for me? this is such an annoying problem...grr!!

Are you sure your ground is .... grounded well? Make sure it's not coming loose or anything, especially if it's behind the seat or something, a place where it could move when you move the seat.

i know it's grounded ok, b/c i unscrewed the ground. a few mintutes later, i screwed it back on. worked fine for a short while...then died again until i unplugged it and plugged it back in again. so annoying. is there anything i can do to fix this? or should i sell it back on ebay and get a different amp? i would really like to keep the one i have right now and just fix the problem.
