    Knu Koncepts RCA turn on lead

    the problem ended up being the remote turn on lead. the connection to the headunit was loose. tightened it up, and the system blasts awesome. thanks for all the help guys.

    yeah, my headunit will come on, but the amp doesnt. i have it wired to the remote turn on lead wire, as shown in the wiring diagram. im 100% sure that its the right wire. so, this just leaves me to believe its from the battery. i just borrowed a multimeter tonight, so ill check it out tomorrow...

    Knu Koncepts RCA turn on lead

    what amp doesnt ****?

    im sure you guys are all sick of answering the same question by now. i tried avoiding asking by doing a search on certain amps to find out how good/bad they are. problem is, everytime i think i find an amp that id like, i look it up here, and it gets trashed, lol. i figured this would be a good...
