Can you confirm the signal from radio to amp is good? Sometimes the fiber optic cable breaks in mysterious fashion. You can unplug one end at the amp and the other at the radio and put a flashlight to it on one of the ends and then check the other end to see if you can see the light. I hope you are successful as I want to upgrade again to the B & O amp.

Yes, the light turns on but no sound, connected it and unplugged multiple times, just to make sure still nothing

Got the 600 watt amp from e70/f01 its working now, it blows the 20amp fuse inside glove box at hight volumes, and sound distorts bad after 60% volume.

Go for a 30amp fuse? Maybe increase gauge size on the power wire?

Do you know what on earth are you even doing? You've introduced 600W Idv amp when the speakers are made for the 400W amp. What else do you think it would do instead of distorting? You probably have already damaged the speakers.

Now you want to run it directly to the battery and then what? Drain it until you cant crank your car anymore?
