Outputs keeping amp on

[jw402]

Well, as the title states I've recently run into an issue where the outputs are enabling the amplifier to run without shutting off. Remote lead is connected correctly, no wires frayed or touching however for some reason when output wires are connected from amplifier to subwoofers the amplifier will not turn off when ignition is switched off. At this point the only way to shut the amplifier off is to manually disconnect the REM wire from the terminal. Issue doesn't occur when RCAS are connected or disconnected, ONLY when the output wires are connected. Install is also clean with no wires overlapping or extra wire being ran in trunk just sitting nearby.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

What is the other end of the remote wire connected to?  What are the voltage measurements on the remote terminal with/without subs and with/without remote wire terminated?

Possible you have an issue inside the amplifier if it only occurs when a sub is connected (which shouldn't have an effect but could if the amp has an internal issue).
