Adding switch to remote wire?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Normally I add a switch to my remote wire to turn the amp on and off. I have a Rockford 360.1 and have it wired on a switch. Everything works fine, but the unit shuts off when I press the button to turn the amp on (it does turn the amp on, though). Do I have to run it to a relay, or does anyone know a way around this?

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

For a second at a glance I thought your name was TaylorFade. :roflmao:

Is the switch wired inline? Is it a momentary switch or toggle?

It's inline with the remote wire, if that's what you mean. Also, I thought it was toggle, could be a momentary though. How would I be able to tell the difference?

momentary switch is just for the moment you push it

if nothing changes, nothing changes

It's a toggle switch then. Since the remote is set to "out" on the bld, I didn't think it would have an effect on it

It Should work as you intended it to but the switch may need power or grounding :shrug:

Well, there's only 2 wires on it, so I'm not sure what the problem is, guess ill just have to play around with it until I fix it.

a 2 wire switch is a simple switch its just the incoming source and the outgoing source. A 3 wire switch would be the input + the ground - and the output to the source. Does the 360.3 ever come back on or does it turn off and stay off?

It's a 360.1. It's a simple 2 wire switch, and the BLD just stays off when the amp is on, and is on when the amp is off.
