Alright my buddy came over and said his amp wasn't working... I check the voltage on it with engine off and its fine... Turn truck on and amp comes on but 6volts from both power and remote!!! So its putting out no power of course... So im like iunno never seen before, amp might be ****ed up.. I put my bxi2008 in there and its fine for a few mins.. Shut truck off and turn back on its doing the same thing... With the hifonics the protect flash then the power flash like start up and then no lights on at all but the blue leds on the front come on... 6V on each power and remote... I tried to jump the remote wire off the power and still does it!!!

Turn truck on with remote unplugged and the amp reads fine 14.4v then hook up remote BLAM 6v and 6v...

Unplugged rcas tried it no help... Checked fuse up front and put new one in.. No help.... Speaker wire at 2ohms like normal...

Donno what else! So Help! lol Thanks

Sounds like a problem with the headunits remote, try switching out headunits and go from there.

Always make sure you have a good ground. A bad ground connection is the worst thing for electronic components besides low voltage.

I posted I jumped the remote wire from the power bypassing the HU... Still same thing.. Only thing I can think of is ya bad ground.. Ill let you guys know...

Anymore ideas??????????

HMM as stated above try a different head unit also check the grounds. Also see if the battery is reading 6 volts as well. One thing I might check myself is to see if the power wire has a brake in it and is touching ground.

It can only be a bad ground or you fried your amp.

**** guys can you actually read my post before posting..

I tried to jump the remote wire off the power and still does it!!! Can't be HU cuz its not being used

Turn truck on with remote unplugged and the amp reads fine 14.4v then hook up remote BLAM 6v and 6v... 14.4 means batt and alt are good... Adding to it the batt up front stays at 14 when the amp is at 6..

Low voltage isnt gonna f the amp up if its not putting any power out...

Must be bad ground i'll change it tomorrow and let you guys know
