speedball1978 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 It has to be the remote wire getting too hot causing it to cut in and out if ur remote is jumped from the positive terminal....that will cause the problem...run the remote behind the headunit or the fuse box....

Real96SS Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Where did you ground the amp? have you checked the power wire from the battery to the amp?The only other thing I can tell you is to try and get another amp to test it and once you take that one out, without it hooked up take a piece of wire and on the disconnected amp touch the positive and negative points together.I had a problem a long time ago with a hifonics amp and took it to a shop and they did that and the amp worked fined after that.I have no clue what exactly it does but it did spark a little when he did it like it was dissipating the electricity or something.

speedball1978 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 That is correct sir make sure its a 12 volt hot but able to shut off your amp when you turn the car off you do. Ot want the amp to be on when the car is not even on it will simply drain the car battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) It has to be the remote wire getting too hot causing it to cut in and out if ur remote is jumped from the positive terminal....that will cause the problem...run the remote behind the headunit or the fuse box.... 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.

AA98hoe Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 You said oem integrated. So how are you catching the signal out from stock deck? Rca input voltage could be a issue.. what kind of amp? Kind of car? And check power and ground connection.what is the amp powering? Subs? Highs?

Rca input voltage could be a issue.. what kind of amp? Kind of car? And check power and ground connection.what is the amp powering? Subs? Highs? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeg321 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Do you have any other amp you can hook up in the car to eliminate the amp as the problem?
