This install is acting very wierd. I bought a multimeter and read the power and the ground on the amp w/ the car off. This read aprox 11.90. Then I tested the remote(red line from mutimeter) and ground, this gave me 0 which makes sence b/c the ignition was off.
I turn on the car to ignition and the power light lights up for about 1 second then turns off...no juice. I test the power line and the ground of the amp and its now down to aprox 6.00 V. The remote and ground now read aprox 11.90 which sounds correct b/c now the ignition is on. But still the amp does not power on.
Am i doing something wrong? I have the power wire running straight to the battery w/ a fuze (not sure what the fuze is rated as but it came w/ the amp kit). The ground wired to a bolt on the tail light (might not be the best place but I was getting 12v with it there in the beginning). The HU is an Alpine 9833. I have tried 2 different amps with the same results. If any other info is needed to figure this out let me know.
Thank you
