After checking that, take a jumper wire, and jump REM terminal to 12+ terminal (no this won't damage anything) if the amp turns on and stays on, you have a remote turn on problem.
Should I have the the car turned all the way off, turned to accessory, turned on when doing this?
Originally posted by jd2-98s: If it still does the same thing you have a main power problem either ground or supply wire from battery. If all that is good, then you have bum amps, which doesn't sound right if you tested a few already.
so for this part your saying run just a regular wire from the POSITIVE terminal of the battery straight to the remote terminal on the amp correct? Do I only run this 1 wire meaning I should not have the 12v terminal on the amp wired to the POSITIVE on the battery and also do not have the ground terminal of the amp run w/ a ground wire?
The car can be off.
Have your + (that should be running from battery) and Ground (good clean metal) hooked up, and jump from the + to the remote terminal, the amp should turn on.
