Danny Donato Deluzio Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 So I have 2 zx 1000.1 kicker amps hooked up individually to each 15inch kicker sub. Than I have a 3rd amp for my vocal speakers. I got a new deck for Christmas, so I installed it. It turns on and works fine, but I noticed I couldn't hear anything. So I popped my trunk and seen that my amps weren't on. There is a switch on the zx amps for power auto power. I switched them over and they all turned on. I heard some volume. Than they turned back off.
rockFord_Expedition Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Did you hook up your remote turn on lead from the HU to the amps? What voltage readings are you getting at your +/- and remote turn on leads? Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire
reedal Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 its the auto turn on. Without your gains set properly , it won't work. According to the manual. So either set gains properly to match HU preout, or leave them and use remote wire from HU SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32

Aj11 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 the auto turn on says nothing about gains, the single sensing does. and that turns the amp on by incoming voltage. even still the gain could be way to high and it will still come on.. just allot sooner. my jl slash had the same thing. if your gain is to low the amp may not come on until full volume. still think its funny how kicker says right in the manual to tune by ear... that's just to funny to me! but hell if your gonna buy the wrong cheap gear, you should tune it the wrong cheap way! jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)

"Signal Sense Turn-On The Audio setting is the fi nal alternative for Automatic turn-on" copy/paste straight from the manual. If you actually read and pay attention, it states there are three different automatic turn on modes that can be selected, and then lists the three: remote turn on, DC offset, and signal sensing. so yes, gains need to be properly set in order for auto turn on to work if set to signal sensing SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32
