[QUOTE="xkf, post: 6235542, member: 613713"] Hi all! i've come here for help... i recently bought an amp and don't really have much experience with wiring these things up. i just want to test it with some car speakers i have laying around, to make sure it works... now i connected it up to a car battery, but only connected to + and ground.....nothing happens. now i find out you need to connect a 12v current to the remote input so it turns on.... is it safe to split the + power source from the battery, and just connect from the positive connection on the battery to the + on the amp aswell as the remote to power it? thanks heaps [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] :) [/QUOTE]
