New member Username: AndyharPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-07 | There is no indication that the amp is on. I have a feeling i connected the power on to the wrong cable, i was in a hurry when i did it. It is connected to the blue cable if i remember correctly, which is the antenna power, which is wrong! I have a light blue cable that is spare, is this where the power on is supposed to connect to? |

New member Username: AndyharPost Number: 5 Registered: Jun-07 | ok I'm not sure what cable i'm supposed to connect to? I have: red-switched power supply yellow-continuous power supply Plus black earth and speakers cables Here is a diagram: http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/2699135111.pdf |

|
New member Username: AndyharPost Number: 6 Registered: Jun-07 | The ATT is Attenuator i believe, so that would be for a phone. As i obviously don't have a remote turn-on i will have to use the red accessories wire which will turn the amp on whenever i turn the ignition. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 4682 Registered: Jan-06 | damn i though the ATT was the blue/white stripe for you. but measure the voltage of it and see. if not what you said will work and you could put a switch so you can still turn them off while the car is on. |

Silver Member Username: Tiki89Post Number: 141 Registered: Oct-06 | what kind of head unit do you have? most head units have two blue wires if yours has two connect it to the other blue one instead and it should work |
|
New member Username: AndyharPost Number: 7 Registered: Jun-07 | I have one dark blue, that is the Antenna Power and a light blue labelled ATT. This is the Attenuator cable. I don't see any remote turn-on. See the link above for the wiring set-up. It is wired into the red cable now, so it is on everytime i turn the ignition. I seem to get a pop when i turn the ignition off, it has always done this, but i was curious as to why? The earth is connected to a clean bolt going into the body of the car, so i'm not sure what is causing it? |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 4688 Registered: Jan-06 | the pop is because of how it turns on the REM lead gives the amps a turn on delay to avoid the pop. the att might be the REM so i would check its voltage with a DMM. |
|
New member Username: AndyharPost Number: 8 Registered: Jun-07 | The pop has gone now it is wired to the accessories wire. My next problem is with the bass being distorted at high volume. Should i turn the gain up some more or turn off bass boost? |
