My alpine amps on my 340 Da are not working... No blue light... Has anyone had both of ther apline amps go at the sametime? Seems strange to me...

Power ground and remote.If it's not one of those 3 then it's the amp.
I highly doubt they went at the same time.
Rod, I just thought of something, with your Alpines being that old, there should be an external fuse located directly on the amps themselves. Check them, and, if the amps were installed properly, there should be another inline fuse connected close to the battery that powers all of that dam sound you have on your boat:grin:.
Is Toms River close to Absecon / Atlantic City?
BTW, I'm a Alpine man at heart, but I just don't feel like going thru the hassle of swapping all of that Clarion crap out anytime soon:smt009
Good Luck Rod!!!
I'd be willing to bet that the blue remote turn on wires are, somehow, loose going to both of the Alpine amps (from the radio side). It might not be a "Blue" wire, but trace back from the amps, the wires that come from the remote turn on, on the amps. The reason I call them the "Blue" wires is because this is usually what Alpine will use coming off their head units. I don't know what color the other manufacturers use, but I'm used to Alpine wiring
We have family in A.C. / Absecon and were up there for Christmas last year.
Let me know what you find out and tell the Wife, Happy Mother's Day:thumbsup:
Rod, check the blue wire that is supposed to be connected from the radio to the amp(s). This is the remote turn on wire that actually sends a signal to the amp(s) when the radio is turned on.
If you want, PM me and I'll give you my phone number and walk you through what to check and where.
I just installed a 2 amp and Sub setup yesterday on my buddy's boat and it came out awesome:smt038
Glad to be of service Rod. Is that THE only fuse protecting the two Alpine amps? If so separate them immediately with two 20 or 30 amp fuses. I know its a pita but that's really the right way to do it. If anything DOES happen at least you will have them separated properly and they both won't fry.
I'd take that amp off your hands but my factory Clarion crap seems to be operating fine for right now.
