Help

HI. I am new here but I really need some help. I have an older kicker impulse 352xi amplifier hooked up to a subwoofer. The subwoofer is brand new but I am not getting any sound out of it. I had this amplifier hooked up to another sub not too long ago and it worked fine but then I started to not get any sound out of it after I let a friend borrow my truck. At any rate, i asked a man to come look at it today and he told me that it was my subwoofer so I went out and bought a new one. Yet, I still can get no power. I am definitly not a person who knows much about the settings on an amplifier but here is what I do know: The sub is a 400 watt single voice coil speaker (4 ohm) and the amplifier should push that easy because that is what I have always had in there. Here is another hint to someone who may know something. There is a red power light on the subwoofer and it is blinking about every three seconds, actually it is like a fade but it does it consistantly. Does anyone have any suggestions. What should the frequency be set on with the amp.

Thread is from 2004, so I am guessing a response isn't going to be likely.

well its worth a try, i just bought the same amp and im having trouble, and i have no idea what im doing, do you know anything?

Is there a fuse anywhere on the outside of the amp? As mentioned previously, that's the first thing I'd check.

This was the closest thing on Kicker's site, possibly a 2ch version of it, but there may be some useful info to troubleshoot yours:

ya the fuse is 25A im going to autozone to get one and try it out

You should be able to look at it and see if it is blown. Is it a blade fuse? Look at it in the light and you will be able to see if it is open in the middle, possibly looking a little burnt.

i replaced the fuse and its still doing the same thing, i even redid the ground to see if that would help, and it didnt, any other opinions?
