depends what the voltage is when the car is on. traxxas. have you even tried anything that i have said? you cant just ask questions then not diagnose it yourself. hes running 13.8 soomething guys and i found out the power circuitry in the amp was bad and freaked out when it was fed 13.8 instead of just 12v from the batt so he got a new amp
-
alright i had the remote hooked up to the 12v ignition on the fuse box, so when he hit the key the amp turned on.. no prob there and i unplug the rcas and turned on the amp with the car running it still did it! and btw.. agian the amp is fine when the car is off.. its a Phoenix Gold R2.0:1 Octane R 2.0:1 amp powering a 10 inch infinity sub at 4ohms.. the amp does this with nothing hooked to it just the - and + with a jumper off the + for a remote.. still does it im thinkin the + power cable is messed up somewhere along the line
-
if a wire is jumped from amp + to remote (which he did as a test), the amp should work perfectly fine. its the same exact thing as having a headunit's amp turn on lead wired up to it. amps draw a max of what, like .5 amps through the remote wire? unless his remote wire run is 30 gauge and 40 feet long, this doesnt cause the problem he's talking about. agreed!
