[QUOTE="zane, post: 353505, member: 540617"] Could be a couple different things.... Firstly, what kind of amp are we talking about? Is it New, used, refurbished? Are your subs connected when you attach the power wire? You may want to start by checking all the wiring to the amplifier, particularly power wiring. Be sure that no part of the remote or + have contact with the vehicle chasis. Be sure that your ground is connected firmly to bare metal. The power wire (+) should have a fuse of proper rating within 6-8 inches of the battery. Start with that. Worst case scenario, you could have a blown FET within the amp. I have seen amplifiers of various brand act in this way when a FET (MOSFET if you will) is damaged. [/QUOTE]
