I installed an MTX amp a while back and have been very happy w/it, but a problem popped up recently. When I installed the amp, it would turn off when the vehicle was turned off. Now it stays on all the time. I checked the remote wire and everything is connected. Can you think of anything else it could be other than the remote wire?
where is your remote wire connected? to the headunit remote or to a "switched wire". In other words is it connected to the switched lead of your radio? If so it could very well be the ignition switch. Mine is wired the same way and it is faulty now causing the stereo to stay on even when the key is out of the ignition. This is just one of many things that it could be.

Use the accessory terminal under your dash. The amp will shut off when you remove your car key.
