[QUOTE="harveyy, post: 992010, member: 558561"] Apparently, some amps need a minimum voltage to work properly. The vehicle's electrical system, if weak, may produce drops below your amps minimum requirement, causing drops in volume and the like. This was explained to me 10 minutes ago from Steve at Profile. For my situation, it's possible that my electrical system has drops that go below 10.5 volts, this may cause my amplifier to temporarily drop volume. The amplifier needs a higher constant voltage. To test this, he suggested adding a jumper from the power wire to the remote wire. If this is the case, as a solution, I can add a relay to the amplifier remote or connect the decks power wire to a thicker source wire to provide a constant higher voltage. Hopefully, you can draw something of help from my dilemma. I'll give my amp the the jumper wire test this afternoon. [/QUOTE]
