redbaron80 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Alpine got me going again. I just got my new alt installed and within 3 minutes of bumping...Poof, both my amps turn off ( T3000's ). Check all my fuses, everything and can't figure it out. Called ALPINE, he said, hell, come over we'll figure it out. He got the volt meter and saw that I saw getting no Signal from my deck ( Blue wire ) and he's able to wire it straight off My rear batteries with a toggle switch to switch off the amps. THANKS BRO, I owe you. Quote Official Scores at the Dash. and YES.

Guest MegaloManiac Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 why would they wire a switch(straight from battery)? that means everytime you shut off car you hear a loud noise and have to shut that switch off...unless there is something you arent telling us?

For whatever reason, either the amp or the deck is not telling the amps to turn on, so we bypassed them completely. The switch is just to shut off the amps. We tried installing a relay but could not get it to work. Quote Official Scores at the Dash. and YES.

PaulO2288 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 he burned the remote turn on from his deck it would only read .5 volts put a relay in and the .5 volts was not strong enuff to switch it on so with in the hour i had time to play with it a turn on switch was the only thing quik and easy we could do what woould you do????????????????// I had that happen to me. I had to run 2 strands or 12 guage wire from battery with a switch to turn on and off the amps at the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thats exactly what I would do in a pinch to get to a show. Maybe after you resolve the deck amp turn on problem, throw in a relay to turn the amps on. Thats what I do when running multiple amps. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure he did it correctly? he burned the remote turn on from his deck it would only read .5 volts put a relay in and the .5 volts was not strong enuff to switch it on so with in the hour i had time to play with it a turn on switch was the only thing quik and easy we could do what woould you do????????????????// I would wire a relay if not the remote wire i would move on too the accessory wire, then the ignition wire if it all fails for whatever reason.

We weren't thinking about pulling the whole stereo apart last night. The biggest relief is that the amps weren't blown. Christian was a happy camper when those amps turned on.
