[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8830433, member: 674149"] Don't connect the remote wire to the ground, disconnect that. The remote wire is your switch wire (it's your power button). It's very little current, usually 100-300mv, but you are creating a new circuit when you add it to the ground, and drawing more current through those circuits that have been designed to handle that original amount. It looks like you have a power button on the sub, so that you can turn it on or off at the sub. The remote wire connects to the head unit so that the sub won't draw power when the head unit is off. Why would you want it any other way? Your sub won't play if your head unit is off, (and that means when your car is off). 1. If you didn't want it, (AND YOU SHOULD WANT IT), you would connect that to the power wire. If you do, then it will always be getting the switch activated, and it will always be on. When your stereo is off the sub will be on. When your car is off, it will be on, drawing current from your battery. 2. Correct. [/QUOTE]
