So your saying that you left power wire connected to your battery and bare ended on the other side just laying around in the back of your vehicle?? wow...ya, that could definatley cause a problem depending on what the power wire was touching...

hmm...do you have a fuse on the power wire? is it touching the frame of the car? Get a mulitmeter and see what your getting for voltage from the battery.

take out the fuse under the hood if there is one. if there isn't one put one there, then remove it.

should always tape your wire up when its disconnected from the amp...

not its just laying in the trunk of my car not connect to anything and the inline fuse is still in total noob move on my part i still dont know all these is too know

Is it laying on metal or carpet? Ok, so your fuse should have blown and prevented total battery drain...check the inline fuse...is it blown?

 

[sk8erboyla2004 10+ year member]

its on carpet and last time i checked inline fuse wasnt blown since yesterday it happened this morning in the school parking alot and im still in school so should i remove the inline fuse or power wire and another not my HU kept turning on and off

 

[05gliguy 10+ year member]

To be on the safe side go ahead and remove the fuse, and your HU is doing what? Turning on and off?

 

[sk8erboyla2004 10+ year member]

yup flicking on and off at times im guessing becuase my RCA is still connect to the HU and the other end is laying on the carpet in the back of my trunk or could be the power issuses

 

[05gliguy 10+ year member]

The RCA's have nothing to do with the power of the HU coming on and off. So it does it even when the car is off?
