Hi there,

I've got a Kicker KX600.4 (75WRMSx4) that has died, I suspect something with the power supply cause all 4 channels are not really working now. It started off being fine for well over 12 months, then it started to randomly play softly for a random amount of time, sometimes then going back to playing loud, then going inaudible except for a small thump noise from the sub every 10 seconds or so, and finally it never really got loud again... The front speakers were the same, didn't work at all really.

I'd like to get it checked out and fixed if it isn't too much $$$... where do people go to get car audio amps fixed? Who fixes Kicker amps?

Thanks for any help.

Check that the RCA cables arent dodgy, not contacting properly, try another freash set run outside the car just to check. If your 100 percent sure that all the wiring is correct, I would just get another amp, I have had and known of people getting amps repaired, they still dont last that long afterwards!

Hey thanks for the quick replies guys. Took it to a guy who installs car audio and he said he checked everything, didn't say exactly what, but all the speaker wires, and all RCA cables were unplugged when I got the car back. Power/ground and remote wires (on other side of amp, were still connected). He said it was a amp problem. I'm leaning away from RCA's because all channels of the amp arn't working, not just the fronts or backs.

Another thing was that sometimes the sub would work (rear channels bridged) but the front channels would still be off (front speakers would not work)).

Think I need to talk to this guy again and find out what tests he did..... How do you test RCA cables?

Wish I could test the amp out on another car, but too much fiddling around.
