[QUOTE="m2002brian, post: 6298457, member: 614397"] well, cause if you want to TEST an amp you don't do a full setup. DO i need to draw pictures for you guys? It's really not that hard to understand. See, most amps you can connet the wires any any order you want and it will turn on, regardless if its "safe". If I hook up ground first, then positive, then remote, it won't turn on. I then have to disconnect all wires (not speakers) jump (bridge)the + and - terminals on amp, just for a sec, then it will make a small spark. Then I have to (in this order) hook up + then - then remote (which is just a wire coming out of the + on the amp). Don't ask how I figured this out, it took a while. After I get it hooked up and able to turn on via remote wire (coming out of amp +) it will turn on and off just fine. No, it's not installed in the car. I was only wishing to test that it works. I just was hoping somebody with electrical circuit knowledge could help me understand why. Maybe a cap is going on the p/s IDK. [/QUOTE]
