[QUOTE="mikesw1975, post: 8753247, member: 683468"] Hi, I'm in need of troubleshooting help for by boat stereo. I have a JL Audio M600/6 amp connected directly to the boat's battery with in-line 100a fuse, also connected to the amp is the 12v remote P.Control wire from a Kenwood radio head. The Kenwood radio head connected indirectly powers up just fine. However, the amp does not power on regardless of the boat's engine running or not. The amp's power connection voltage reads a steady 13.3v at rest, though, after the engine has been running, the voltage reads over 15v leading me to believe this could be blowing the amp. To test the theory, I bought a cheap 6ch amp, and at rest (13.3v) the cheap amp's LED power's up for a brief blip, then goes dark. There are a few other wonky things going on with the power as well like the radio head powering regardless of battery switch position. I've attached a drawing for visualization. Any ideas what could be causing the amp not to power on and thoughts on how to fix it? [/QUOTE]
