Hello y'all! Total noob here. I connected an active subwoofer in my car.
I connected the yellow power wire directly to the positive battery terminal; the black ground wire directly to the negative terminal; and the blue power-on wire to the blue/white remote wire behind my head unit. Since the blue/white wire was connected on both sides to the harness, I spliced into it.
Everything was fine for 3 days, and then the battery was DEAD.
Interestingly, the battery wasn't found dead after a long night, but rather after a 20-minute drive. But mainly: can it possibly be that the woofer was drawing power from the battery, despite the power-on wire?! The woofer has a power indicator light. I made sure 100% that the light goes on only when the head unit is on.
So was it all just a freak coincidence? Was there another electrical problem in my car that killed my battery? The battery BTW is relatively new and hasn't yet shown any symptoms whatsoever.
Thanks in advance!
