[QUOTE="All_Logix, post: 7687093, member: 628274"] Unfortunately my friend I am going to have to agree with Kenwood Tech on this one and say something is shorted within the amplifier. And to put your mind at ease MOST amplifiers do ground their chassis, which is why it isn't a good idea to mount it to the vehicles metal, it will attempt to use the amp chassis like a ground wire. If you have a good ground and you are getting power on the remote wire and power wire and nothing happens, there is something wrong with the amp.... If I had to guess I would ask exactly how you removed it from your previous vehicle. There are a lot of stories of people who remove the fuse from the power wire and not the negative on the battery first and this can cause problems. [/QUOTE]
