stray wires touching the remote terminal?

You need to run the remote wire. You probably have an amp that has auto turn on (claims it doesn't need the remote wire). Problem is, sometimes they need the remote wire to know when to shut off. Oddly enough, I've had the same problem in the past.

My amp started to do this... It is a nice amp, but not under warranty so I had to put a 50amp relay inline with the power wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif Does the trick though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
