[QUOTE="What was that?, post: 8250528, member: 606737"] When checking electrical you should check all the power points using the same grounding point (battery ground) to get a reference. Then check using that powered parts ground. If something is different-bad ground. you didn't say how you tested the amp outside of the car as far as powering it and grounding it. Or did you leave it in and just hook up the ipod? different parameters=different results. when you tested the the ipod did you use the remote wire from the hu to turn it on or did you jump it? if you used it then the remote is probably fine. 12.28v is on the low end also. I have 14.8. Amps have input voltage they like and after a while of running on low voltage will blow from pulling to hard to get the same amount of power. Another thing you could do is grab a speaker wire to rca converter from a local shop. Something you would use if your head unit didn't have an rca out. connect your speaker leads from head unit to the converter and run the same rca. this will rule out the amp. [/QUOTE]
