no signal to bass amps???


Recommended Posts

after messing with it, it seems to kick on instantaneously after hitting 27 out of 35 volume, so something with the amps and signal voltage maybe?

could having 3 amps on the remote wire cause this maybe? like the bass amps require more to fully start up rather than just power on? didnt have this issue when it was jus the mids/highs amp and 1 bass amp. Now that there is two is some extra factor playing in?

hopefully someone will chime in.

Mine (also a Kenwood, KDC-X794) was like that when I had all three amps on it (2 AQ 4x90 and AP 1800). IT would come on in this order: Rear 4 channel, Front 4 channel, Mono and turn off in the same order. When I took the rear 4 channel off the hu remote and added a switch to turn it on (from a different power source) that problem went away.

Try to see if there's a stock ignition hot wire you could temporarily tap into and see if anything changes.

put it in, still does the same thing. 27 volume clicks on everytime, and works 100% after. maybe HU is acting up

with new turn on relay set up = still does it

using the one of my HIghs RCA's = still does it

switched the master and slaves around = still does it

im so fucking lost, probably something with the amps. But what i dont get is once they turn on, if you go lower in volume it stays on like bass normally would, but until i hit that turn on point, i get nothing.

going to try it with the amps not strapped. i.e. 1 amp only.

OK, doesnt do it when single amps are used. So it has something to do with in strapping/linking of these amplifiers. I emailed the manufacturer to see if this is typical behavior or not. The amps i am using (opti3201s) are strappable.

You said that you unstrapped amps.. so did you only wire one amp? You should try wiring up ONLY the other amp and see if the problem persists. If it does, then theres your problem.
