Guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) why? it would just sit there,... idle.... turn on, and sit,....... no signal coming in... to me, its just on, sitting there,...... like, if you had a set up... and had your HU off.........??? am i missing something? exactly what im thinking. no rca's = no input = no output on that channel = no draw. using 2 channels out of 4 makes half the amp work (and thus using half the current), no? edit: i dont see why that channel would still work, since every channel receives a separate signal Edited June 6, 2012 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassface Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Would it be easier to just have a switch on the remote of the 4 channel to turn it off and on? Oh unless a 4 channel is all you are running. Didnt read that at first. Edited June 6, 2012 by bassface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Think about what is going on in a amp ... its ALWAYS making amplication of signal ... Thats why you hear people on this forum say that you do not use your gain control knob as a volume control ... its job is to make power Would you run a washing machine with no water ?? same principle ...

Kyblack76 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Ken, I dont see what your asking can be off... in no way shape or form my friend...... If the amp has nothing to do,.. there will be no draw... If you dont tell it (signal) what you want, it wont put out (draw)....
