[QUOTE="dubstepper1000, post: 8514023, member: 664848"] It wouldn't hurt, but it might be easier to sniff it out by testing the voltage as you go along, first check the voltage on the battery terminals, then from the negative terminal to the closest side of the inline fuse, and again for the furthest side of the fuse. Do this when the car isn't running, and when it is. If you are getting that low of voltage across the amp there is something wrong with your wiring. Something i like to do is to take the whole thing apart including the fuse and battery connections and just do it all fresh. Also, when you are conducting these tests, unplug the speakers and the RCA's, try to get it to run with only the power, ground, and remote. As for why it is turning on and off I'm not entirely sure, most amps won't even power on without at least 10V, unless you are not using the DMM properly. [/QUOTE]
