[QUOTE="bwc2210, post: 7695388, member: 640690"] I am doing an install on a 2012 ford escape factory radio (no factory sub, no sync, no navigation). I am having trouble with the Polk 330a amp I'm putting in. As I mentioned the amp is turning off at mid volume. I have put a DMM to the ground and power wires and I get a reading between 13 & 14 volts. This reading holds strong when the amp power and power light go out. When I put the DMM on the REM wire it reads within the 6-7 volt range, this stays in this range when the amp is on and when the amp turns off. Could this be where my problem lies? I am running six gauge power and ground. I do not have any speaker wire plugged into the amp as of right now. I figured that would rule out the ohm issue. I dont know if I'm right about that or not.... Thank you in advance for any help you all can send my way!!! [/QUOTE]
