[QUOTE="mjg1988, post: 7799101, member: 642911"] Hi there. I've got a prob with the battery in my car. Amp keeps draining it, Know this cause when i take out my fuse, No power goes to the amp, No problem with my battery. At first i thought it could have been my capacitor, possibly popped or grounding issue, Took out my cap and still had the problem. I then thought of it possibly being a grounding issue from the negative terminal on the amp to the chassis, So ran a new 4 gauge cable from the negative terminal on the battery to my amp. Still have the same issue. I now think it could possibly be a problem with the remote wire from the Head unit to the Amp, Some sort of glich maybe that's not completely powering off my amp. Just wanted some thoughts of what the problem could be. Equipment that I am running: 12" 1400 W Pioneer 2ohm Sub 2500 W 4 Channel Starsound Digi amp 2 Farad Cap 0 Gauge Positive cable 4 Gauge negative Cable Pure Audio Head Unit Any help would be appreciated Cheers [/QUOTE]
