the remote turn on may have a bad connection or connected to the wrong spot in the back of the HU. You could have a bad connection somewhere and the amp is going into protect mode. You ground could be not a good connection which would also make the amp go into protect mode.
The protect light is also not turning on. Remote turn on?? i didn't get a remote with my amp he said he lost it i didn't think you needed it for the sub to work. is their a way to turn it on without the remote?
its not a real "remote", there should be a connection that says "remote" or "rem"...dont know where it is on that amp, its usually betweent the power and ground wires on other amps anyway...you need to run a small wire from that to either the same wire on the back of your radio or to a keyed wire or fuse....that is a wire or fuse that only has power when the key is turned on on your car.
Thank you i found the Rem to hook it up so i just hooked that up to my stereo wire and still no power no red light protection on or the green light power are on i've checked the power wire it is getting power along with the rem wire when the car is on. i re-checked the ground sanded off what little paint their was still nothing...any other ideas of what could be my problem?? thanks for the help so far btw
btw, just to make doubly sure its the amp, and not something on the remote wire, disconnect the remote wire from the amp, then use a short piece of wire and run it from the +in on the amp to the rem (should be almost side by side anyway. IF the amp comes on then....somethings messed up withe the way you wired the remote
"Remote turn on?? i didn't get a remote with my amp he said he lost it i didn't think you needed it for the sub to work. is their a way to turn it on without the remote?"
lol... sorry, just kinda funny. The guy said he lost the remote for the amp??? what?!!!
Thank you very much i tried connecting it to the 12 V and it's working so it's the rem wire the thing is is that the Rem wire is giving power to the amp i guess just not enough because we tested the rem wire not sure of the name of it but you connect one end to the ground the other to the power lights up if their is power... that works so im guessing it's not getting enough power so my next question is is what exactly do i connect the rem wire to? i just put in with a wire off the back of my head unit that had power while the car was on...

lol omg this is the most funniest post ever lol did he say he hooked up the REM to a speaker wire ROFL
^ Thanks i just weant and checked and it was connected to the blue with a white stripe wire...and again the green power light nor the red protect light will come on we tested the rem on the amp and it says it is receiving power while the car is on...Anything else i can hook this up too?
take a small remote wire and touch the remote wire to the power wire and if the green light comes on the it's just the remote wire, could be something got pinched/burned, anything really. If that works, then just go ahead and put in a new remote wire from your HU to the amp.
take a dmm and see if your getting 12v from the remote wire...do that on the back of the HU to the blue wire and if its 12v when the car is on and 0v when the car is off then use a connecter and connect the remote wire to that blue wire off the HU then run it to your amp
