Amp wont power on at all wondering what to check next

You've lost your ground.

[mike49504]

ok so what do i check for to see if i can fix the ground issue

[Perry Babin]

With the black probe on the ground terminal of the amp (inside the amp), what's the DC voltage on pin 7 of the 494?

[mike49504]

ok i figured out why i wasent getting ground but now when u hook power and ground to the amp no remote the amp draws 60+ amp

[Perry Babin]

What was causing the loss of ground?

[mike49504]

you have to hook 3 power wires and 3 ground wires to this amp in order to turn it on not just one

[Perry Babin]

Did an FET become shorted?

Are you sure you don't have B+ and ground reversed?
