Re: Amplifier Power Loss
When I test my amps to see if they will come on, I will use a jumper wire between the remote terminal and the power terminal.

Re: Amplifier Power Loss
I'm having some friends help me look it over today, will give update later, hopefully we can atleast find out what's wrong with it. Ya I'm using the BassLink now, the other amps speaker wire polarity was straight, no problem there.

Eeeyep, yep.
Some Bad News:
The amp woiks!!!
So Thx for all the tips, etc. Sorry for the anti-climatic finish.
What I Did:
-Tested in a friend's working setup, worked fine.
-Relocated the ground wire in my setup to a larger metal location I got from 3si, and poof worked fine.
The New Problem:
Well yesterday before I relocated the ground, I thought the remoted turn on from the HU was the problem as well as some others. Well I wired 3 wires together,(good/bad?) The Remote from the HU, the ACC+ from HU, and the ACC+ from the Car, now I meant to use the Remote from the amp, but accidently wired the wrong one. Now it didn't blow any fuses for doing this, but I've now wired the Amp remote back to the HU remote, same with the ACC+.
Well now the treble is fine when I first turn on the HU bu if I push any HU button it cuts off, and it only comes back on, if I turn HU off/on again and still cuts back off after 1min or so if I leave it untouched. Now it does come on IMMEDIATELY after I turn my headlights off after parking...
So what could be causing this? I mentioned the remote wire mess, just in case it had something to do w/it which it proally did somehow? Well I plan on borrowing a new HU until I upgrade this one to a mp3 cd capable one, which should fix it. But in the mean time, I like the bass from the amp...but no treble is just weird : |, any tips/replys appreciated.
