is the light coming on saying it has power?? is the protection light on?? Check all the signal cables if it's powering up correctly because it may just be a loose RCA or something......

You're "cap messed up" or you installed your cap incorrectly?

Check all the fuses, try bypassing the cap altogether and
making the power system as simple as possible to try and
narrow down exactly what the issue is.

the cap is bypassed and i forgot that it was tied into the amps when i hooked it back up the other day. it powers up , the led is lit up , all rcas are connected , theres no sound coming out. argh. whatever the problem is it's inside the amp. at one point if i somewhat hit it it would play but no more.

you have no idea what your talking about ...prolly not smart enough to read a spec sheet to determine if they made a good amp...they have made many very good amps as well they own TAD the finest audio speakers in the world!! Look them up
