The "fuzz out" you describe is puzzling.  If the amp was just under-powered,
you'd just hear quiet sounds.  The "fuzz" makes me wonder if the power supply
you are using is not providing enough juice- dropping the electronics
below the threshold where they work at all.  Alternately, the power
supply could be poorly filtered and producing a rough signal.

If you have a voltmeter, check if there is 12-13v available when
the system is powered.

just a thought...
