[QUOTE="Corrigan Zeman, post: 8868030, member: 690635"] First post, so take it easy on me. For context, I had my previous set up (simple amp/subs/aftermarket HU setup) working just fine. I just finished rewiring it all with a better quality wiring kit, and added a capacitor as well. Im running 600 watt amp to two 10” subs, ive got battery positive running to a distribution block that runs positives to the amp and the capacitor, both of which are separately grounded to the chassis. The remote from the HU runs to the amp, and I’ve spliced a wire to that for the cap remote. I went to start the car and the amp & sub light up for maybe 2 seconds and shut off. I shut the car off, and they light back up again until the HU powers down, as normal. I also have no response from either when car is put in accessory mode. All my connections are tight, nothing is sparking/burning. I also charged the capacitor correctly prior to installing. I havent put my dmm to anything yet cause its currently 1:05 am as i write this and im going to sleep, but some suggestions as to where to start would be appreciated, let me know any information you guys may need.
