The positive is somehow jumping to the remote. Make sure that the power wire isn't frayed and touching the remote wire... and if not, it's internal. And, unless you know circuit boards, I'd just send it to a professional. Or send it to me. >_>

well the box did get pushed way back when i stopped hard and the wires rly tight and the rem wire was pressed in, like crimped but not frayed atleast by the amp, ill have to look at the whole wire, sometime. (zero below weather sucks)

what he is saying is there might be part of your power wire touching the remote terminal

Maybe it's a defect in a poorly made amplifier...

god idk why people give hifonics shit. sorry im not paying 600$ or more for same fvking thing. this amp has had no problems when it was nice out, and its played to the max whenever im driving, (hour or more a day) and it never gets warm. plus i have stock electrical i dont even have the big 3 anymore.

in school right now, today i just pulled the ground out and whenever i wanna listen to it i plug it in, i got the stinger wire reducers to fit 0 gauge so its really easy, so not much of a problem, pre gay though

open the amp up and take a picture. something inside is bridging.
