traxxas101

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

8 gauge 40amp fuse

sadly no.. but before i sold him this amp i had it in my bed room hooked up to two 12" pioneers powered by a lawnmower battery of all things haha its been bangin for about 2 years no problems(: then i put it in his camaro and i get problems!??

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!

thank you sir=)

so run my romote to one of the accessories fuses in the fuse box??

Its goes in and out of protect at a pace to guys it like its does 2 cycles of on and off every second

Alright my buddy has to come over another day.. I jus dont get why the amp would run fine when the car is off but into an out of protect when its running.. Idk lol im gonna go crazy!

Hey guys im installing my friends system right and i got everything hooked up and he wanted everything to be oem intergrated so i did and everything works when the car off.. Amp stays on and sounds good! When i start the car the amp start to go into protect and then out almost like its flickerin on and off.. WTF!!! Idk whys its doin this can you guy plz explain i checked the ground but not the positive lead yet so idk also i put a volt meter and its like 13.8 when the amp is off but when i turn it on it drops to about 12.6 then cuts on and off when the cars running.. Member the amp is at idle Plzz get back soon guys i need ur help!
