joseortizservin Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 like the title says, grounds are both amps are getting power and the remote is also hooked up correctly and getting power. Why aren't they turning on? http://a1.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/profile01/120/fc99b7d77677469eaff693bee49cc11d/p.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Can you post some pictures of your connections? Both ends of ground, power, and remote. Does the HU turn on? What HU is it?

joseortizservin Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 head unit turns on and its a JVC head unit P.S. all the fuses on the amps are good and the fuse to the battery is also good http://a1.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/profile01/120/fc99b7d77677469eaff693bee49cc11d/p.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Jump the amplifier positive input to the remote input and see if the amp turns on. Let us know.

joseortizservin Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 i jumped an amp and everything turned on like it use to http://a1.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/profile01/120/fc99b7d77677469eaff693bee49cc11d/p.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Then you have an issue with your remote wire. Did you use a multimeter to make sure it has 12v on it? You said in the first post its getting power at the remote but by jumping the constant power wire to the amp remote, you just proved the remote doesnt.

joseortizservin Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 used a test light to check out the power and remote wires, dont have a multimeter but if its the remote wire, should i just replace it them? http://a1.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/profile01/120/fc99b7d77677469eaff693bee49cc11d/p.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 You can replace it, but if the HU isnt putting out enough voltage from the remote out then a new wire wont solve anything. On the other hand, if the remote is pinched or shorting out somewhere between the amp and HU, that would be why you still get a positive on the test light, because there's still current coming through the wire where it's still conected throughout, and replacing it would be good. Its up to you. I'd personally pull the remote and check for any signs of wear, rubbing, or pinches, and check the voltage coming from the HU on the remote out lead. A multimeter is a useful tool. You can get a cheap one from home depot or somewhere that will be good enough for voltage and resistance checks. The more expensive meters are nice and loaded with options, but its an unnecessary luxury. I use a $30 klein from home depot. Test lights are helpful sometimes, but you dont get the whole picture.
