The Performer Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The toggle shouldn't have anything to do with it, but I've seen weird things happen in strange situations. And I didn't fully understand but where were you getting the negative voltage readout from? The headunit side or the amp side? CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks' Click to see my build! Proud DC owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 put the dmm onto the remote and the negative on the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E a r t h Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 reverse the leads, thats why the neg sign is there. but the voltage will be the same reading regaurdless, so it doesnt matter. the .5 volt or whatever, is whats keeping the amp on.

ChevyBoy Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 that wouldnt make sense though to have the negative on the remote terminal..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E a r t h Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 that wouldnt make sense though to have the negative on the remote terminal.....that part doesnt really matter anyway, you need to diagnose why the voltage is there and where from since you know its there. honestly, it seems to me like the switch yer using is leaking voltage past it keeping the amp on. and a relay would be bad because when the magnetic field collapses [ turned off] it sends a voltage spike back through possibly damaging your turnon circuit. bypass those and your problem is more than likely solved. take the remote out of the amp, jump the B+ to rem terminal and the amp comes on, you know the amp is fine.

jmsonoma03 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 where are you getting the power from for the turn on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got_Bass89 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Pretty sure using the red ignition wire from car? Mabie thats ur problem... Not shutting off all the way.. Low enough for deck shut off but not amp... Toggle shouldn't have anything to do with it unless it has its own power and ground for the light or whatever if it has... I'd check voltage at deck ignition wire... You can always just wire it constant and shut off at toggle... But i know you probably wondering wtf and wanna find out..

But i know you probably wondering wtf and wanna find out..im pretty sure i can tell the difference from a red wire thats connected to another red wire, and a blue wire that has a label on it that says "turn on" (or something VERY similar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not using your actual ignition... I see.. Check the voltage at the deck then... Also just a 2wire toggle? Not the ones that need seperate power and ground for light or whatever...?
