[QUOTE="highfigh, post: 8889750, member: 691685"] Am I correct in thinking that the amp works, but the protection light is on? That's how I understood it from one of your posts. It may just be low voltage- are you measuring this at the amplifier, at its main + and - terminals? You need to do that- if it shows less than battery or charging voltage, read my other post about the body ground wire. Remote turn on circuits use very little current. As a test, turn off everything in the car (and remove the key from the ignition switch), disconnect the remote turn on wire from the amp, then connect the remote terminal and positive power terminal. If it turns on, you need to do something different for remote turn on. The head unit- what is it? The combination of the DSP and amp may be too much for the circuit in the head unit. Need the brand/model. [/QUOTE]
