If you get 12 volts the REM wire is hooked up wrong. If you get no voltage and the amp is on, your amps got a problem.

Post Number: 1031 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Tuesday, January 01, 2008 - 03:19 GMT Just run the remote wire to an ACC on the fuse block so when the key is turned to ACC or start/run then the amp will have power but when the car is off there will be no voltage sent through the remote wire. You must have it hooked to a constant 12v source.Need to switch to a switched 12v source...JMO

Post Number: 1080 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 03:51 GMT Yes, a vehicles factory fuse "pannel" has a few empty spaces marked ACC. These will only send power when key is turned forward meaning when vehicle is off, so is the amp.. Hope that helps..
