So basically, I have looked at the other Kenwood KAC-9103D thread, but it was no help. If I can get a little more descriptive info on what was unsoldered. Because same thing happened too me, and I know it is probably a really shitty and stupid mistake, but my grounding came unwired some how and I went back into my trunck to check something, and when I saw it, I decided to put it back in normally, and accedently slipped with my hand, and hit the power cable. And the last thing that happened was a spark and poping sound. My fuses are 100% okay. My wiring works, because we threw my friends 1000w xplod in their, and it worked, then we threw teh Kenwood KAC-9103D into his wiring, and nothing again.
So the wiring is good in both cars, and yes my wiring is okay in my car, because I have run teh amp before and it was fine. If someone could provide me with a circuit map, or something, so I can see labels and things, I can probably figure out this problem myself, but any help would be helpful.
And yes I have googled and looked around, and cant find anything remotely helpful.
Sorry too be such a scrub but it would be very grateful for any help.

It's common for Kenwood and Pioneer amps to burn traces when this happens (if I understand what happened).
You'd need to have the amp powered up and measure voltage on several points to determine the problem. Can you do this?

If you tell me what I need, I can most likely do this. Im not completly incompetant. Hah.
I already took teh amp apart just too see how it functions, and see if I could see that unsoldered part, but to my luck, no success.
So yes, if your willing to help me man, I can do it.

You need to have all transistors tightly clamped to the heatsink and have a 10 amp fuse in the B+ line feeding the amp.
Measure the DC voltage on all 3 legs of Q12 and Q20.
Place the black meter probe on the amplifier's ground terminal. Place the red meter probe on the point where you need to measure the voltage.

I really appreciate the help man, and takin your time to help. But when I went to get a multimeter, the guy at teh shop was like "Let me take a look at it." Knowticed something came unsoldered like we suspected. And it took 2min to fix.
So thank you for taking your time out to help. :3
