[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 8787585, member: 629234"] you said the blue wire "on both ends" are you saying that you tapped into some factory wire for the remote turn-on? what size wire did you use for ground and power? what model active sub? its possible that a poor connection or undersized wire could have damaged the power section in the amp, which will often draw constant power till it blows a fuse or pathway. same thing can happen to the alternator. on another side of things, the alternator is fused, so if you draw power from the wrong place, it could blow the fuse and stop charging. theres pretty much guaranteed a charge warning if you pay attention, but 20min is plenty time to kill your battery if the alternator isnt charging while you drive.
