[QUOTE="Walk1141, post: 8708257, member: 680261"] Hello, I am currently working on my second audio install and my amp isn't wanting to turn on. I have checked with my multimeter the voltage coming from the power wire and the remote wire while the car is on and it shows 14+ volts. But as soon as I connect the blue remote turn on wire to the amp, both the remote wire and the power wire's voltage drops to 8-9 volts. What could be causing this? I previously had this same setup with 8 gauge wire inside of a 2002 PT cruiser until about 2 months ago when it broke down on me. I'm open to trying anything and appreciate any help! :) [/QUOTE]
