One time I seen a guy ground his amp to the trunk hinge and when he shut the trunk the amp would shut off. I moved groung to bare metal on the floor and worked fine. Just a suggestion but you might want to get a volt meter and read the voltage on the power and remote wires when the car is in reverse or whenever the amp shuts off. |

Silver Member Username: HockeyknightSt. Paul, MN Post Number: 710 Registered: Apr-06 | he grounded it to a nice clean bolt under the seat so...could it be that tiny power cable???? just the way the amp just shut off made me think he wasnt getting enough current.... |

Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Post Number: 201 Registered: Jul-06 | adam, that power wire doesn't have an auto-reseting circuit breaker on it instead of a fuse does it? second thing to check: Take a small piece of wire and jump the amp's + terminal to the REM terminal and see if the problem persists third: get a voltmeter and measure the DC voltage on the amp's + terminal when it shuts off. If there is 12+ volts then something may be wrong with the amp itself. If there is no voltage then it's something to do with that power cable or ground... |
