^Easy alternative to your problem. Have you checked ALL your wires? My head unit turned on but no sound and it was that bastard little blue wire that came undone.... Just making sure we covered all the bases here man

Interestingly enough I just had this same problem..might not be exactly like yours but everything worked fine (kenwood head unit) read CDs and my phone and said it was playing music..had power to an afternarket Mtx amp but no sound coming out of the speakers..fuses and everything were good only thing I figured it could be was whatever is in the head unit sending audio out crapped and basically rendered my $300 head unit useless so I was a little mad about it
The other day I accidently left my lights on (doh!) and my car died while I was at work..so I jumped it and after I jumped it I had sound in my speakers again..weirdest thing in the world but everything works fine now..?? Don't know how tho

oh crap I am pretty sure you can easily bypass it and do not need it, will sound better with out it. grab the hrns's that went to it and follow the one up and it should have a hrns connection on the passenger side consol unless its been moved. Disconnect the hrns's and you can use the male side as you speaker hrns. Connect the decks speaker wires to it and you just bypassed the amp.

you have a bad connection somewhere and need to troubleshoot. Take you deck out and get technical with it. That is: pull, twist, shake, rattle until you either get the sound to stop or you are sure that nothing in those connections has anything to do with the problem. If nothing then do some technical taps on the top of the deck. That is: start with your finger tips and lightly tap on top of the deck with light impacts at first and work the intensity up. Tap on the corners, the middle, bottom the face, everywhere. If nothing happens then use your first knuckes and again start light and increase the intensity and again do it all over. It sounds silly but these are honestly the things I would do when I was working as a audio/security installer/tech and also did some of the same stuff while troubleshooting million dollar semiconductor machines for intel. The taps stuff was actually something I learned 2nd semester at tech school by one of my more respected profs.

Will bypassing the amp have a negative effect on anything?

I'm gonna say no due to the fact that aftermarket head units have built in amps... hence the rms ratings on the units themselves

Been messaging Scott since it's faster. I'm gonna solder the amp and see if it changed anything, then I guess I'm gonna bypass it (which I'm not looking forward to doing) and go from there.

Bypassing it is easy just time consuming. And good call on that Scott is the resident audio expert
