Robert8252 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Why remove all that to test? Just remove the remote wire from the amp, get a short piece of wire and jump it from the remote turn on the amp to the 12 v+ on the amp, it should turn on, if it does then you know the remote wire is either not connected good or shorted to ground. Simple. Do this! If the amp turns on then your wire is ran like shit or you popped the fuse again because of the wire being ran bad. Anything could punch it puncturing the the jacket and exposing the wire to metal. Your backseat could pinch it, door jam trim, dash trim, and so on. And if I were you I would run it on a toggle switch and IMO easier you could run the remote from the back if the radio. Although if you don't have a multimeter it's not the easiest to find which wire it is on the stock harness.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 heres back of amp .i run wire from remote to where ? Get a piece of wire about 6 inches long and connect it from the remote terminal to the 12 volt power terminal, just touch it to it and the amp will come on if your power and ground are connected correctly!!!

AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Where did you tap into the speaker wires at with the loc? Did you do it at the head unit or at a speaker?
