I have a Fosgate amp + sub. Anyway, Im running a Xplod deck. I have power, my ground, Rca's, and ground going to my amp. The amp is brand new. But, I cant get the amp to come on. I think the remote wire is crap or something....When ever I put the Remote wire into the deck the deck shorts out or something. Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong....PLEASE HELP. 2 much money to waste!

 

stop hooking up the remote wire to the deck, head units are FRAGILE, for the most part.

tap into an IGNITION fuse on your fuse box, and run it from there, this will turn the amp on, whenever your car is running.
then run that wire back to the amplifier.


something is wrong, but if i didnt have a warranty, i would do that

 

Just double check and make sure you have the remote and not the antenna or light dimming wire. Then make sure you're amp(s) have power and ground in the right places. It sounds almost like you're hooking up the remote to the amps ground or something.

 

I dont know what the heck to do here guys...I have power going to it.....I checked it to the voltage meter....but, ***....May be Ill just do what you said......run it from the ignition.
