checked the fuse on the power line under the hood to see if it was loose. I took it apart and made sure the fuse was tight. I also unscrewed the screws that hold the power wire into the fuse holder and reset the wires, tightened the screws and secured the fuse holder. Everything is now very tight.
I then checked the Voltage on the power wire connected to the amp and the negative terminal on the amp and it registered aprox 12.4V, remote & and ground read 0v. I then turned the car to ignition and the power light lights up for a sec and then goes out. I then tested the remote & ground and it registers at aprox 12v but the power & ground now read under 3V. So in short the same issue is present. Any ideas what the heck is going on here?
In order to rule out bad RCA cables, RCA output on the HU, or RCA input on the amp does the RCA's need to be hooked up in order to get the amp to power on and stay on? I did not think the RCA's was needed to get power but just want to make sure that the problem is not bad RCA outputs/inputs or RCA cables.
