[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8753249, member: 654802"] Audio equipment is meant to work within 9-16 volts, so 15 volts is no problem. Try refreshing all power connections. You could get a reading above 12v, but once power is demanded, that voltage can drop drastically with a bad connection. As a quick test, disconnect the remote wire, now bridge a piece of wire from Amp Positive to Remote Screw. Amp should power on. When you checked voltage, was the boat on? Some boats run on 24 volts and this may be an issue as well. [/QUOTE]
