Long story short, my amp has been sitting in the trunk of my touring, unmounted and in direct sunlight for a few weeks now. A mixture of laziness and not enough time to make an amp rack has prevented me from tucking it away somewhere.
Anyway, its a 5 channel that only had the fronts and sub hooked up at the time. I removed the sub box one morning to fit luggage and as i drove the front speakers made a noise (kinda hard to describe the sound) and then just completely cut out.
What I've checked so far:
* Any and all fuses related to the radio/headunit
* Wire connections at the headunit
* Wire connections at the amp
* Speaker wire connections
* Amp fuses
* Hooked up another amp and all speakers worked fine
* Tried a different RCA cable
* Rewired the amp and moved the ground closer
I'm still left with no sound and its driving me crazy! What else can I check at this point? Is it likely that the sun damaged the amp and fried some internal components?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
