[QUOTE="jhering1986, post: 6427452, member: 616082"] Alright so here's the deal: I have a Rockford Fostgate 300 watt amp hooked up to pioneer 6x9's in my car. I've had this hooked up for 4 years now and never had a problem. A few months ago I noticed that the sound from the 6x9's would cut out and then cut back on. I knew it was going to be a problem but left it until finally it went out and stayed out. I checked the fuses on the amp and CD player(aftermarket Pioneer approx. 6 years old) and everything was fine. Checked the fuse on the power line coming from batt. and it was fine. I have the amp ground wire hooked to the chassis and the remote wire coming from the remote wire on head unit. Now here is the weird part: when the car is off,I get 12.5 volts from the batt. and the remote wire and when I connect the power and ground to the amp, I get 12.5 volts but when I connect the remote wire to the amp, the voltage drops 3 volts at the power wire and remote wire. I took a wire and bridged the power input to the remote wire input on the amp and the amp works for a few minutes, but then the sounds cuts on and off when I adjust the volume on the head unit. I bought a new amp and hooked it up and I got the same results so I'm pretty sure the amp is not bad. I also just changed the remote wire also as well as the RCA cables. What could be the problem?
