Can the viper run a seperate amp that isnt a 1200 viper? I am trying to run a mono 400 watt amp with the Rca's and remote wire running from the Viper. but it doesnt seem to like it.

What now? You are sending the rca's from the viper to the lil amp as well as the REM??

I hope you don't plan on attaching your next 187 to it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Anyway, what you're doing is called "piggybacking". It's a common thing. Some amps will work with it, some won't. If your amp doesn't like it, try piggybacking from the 400 watt monoblock to the Viper instead and see if that works.

All else fails, Y splitters *will* work, but I do think you'll end up resetting your gains because of the split input signal.

naw the 400 watt amp is gonna power the speakers. I'll probably jus end up getting a new head unit or something though

Have you tried switching the Viper from Slave to Master?
