Re: amp problems?
wire twister things? as in for house electronics? i wouldnt reccomend using those BUTT CONNECTORS work the best and are professional used, the twists are not made for cars at all..they may be acceptable but its not a very good connection, next time take it to a shop or a professional, also this might be a reason u have that whining noise coming from a speaker..bad connections

Re: amp problems?
Those wire twister things are NOT for STRANDED WIRE! They are for solid conductor home wiring only. They shouldn't be used anywhere near your car. Period.
Use butt splices or crimp caps, or better yet, solder it.

i got them taped right now and its fine, but im thinking about this...
would it work if i took a switch, basic on-off switch, and split my remote wire and put one end on each terminal on the switch...would it make it so i can flip it and make the bass turn on and off or not?? everyone i've talked to doesnt see any problem in it and thinks it should work
