Answer 1

its a pyle amp you should have expected this

Answer 2

check your ground its the #1 forgoten thing

Answer 3

vibration, from drilling/s******g/pounding, could cause a component within the amp to become disconnected.  for example the power supply contacts within the amp

Answer 4

Check the fuses again. Were you looking at the main fuseblock of the car? Has the amplifier got a fuse of its own built into the casing? I suspect, by the way, that you have misread the spec of your amplifier. A 4 kilowatt electrical device on full song would take 333 amps out of your 12 volt battery (which of course would blow all the fuses anyway).

Answer 5

Make sure that the ground is properly attached.
