when i had my car shut off before my amp would shut off also. its hooked up to the remote and everything. but i resently went on a trip to vegas and came back and my battery was dead. the amp is now staying on and wont shut off. neone got ne suggestions? thanks

 

Need more details on the install.

 

You might of hooked up your amp to the 12volt wire that is in the back of your deck wrong is what i sounds like to me.

 

i had it hoked up professionally at al and eds. it used to chut off all the time when i had the car off. but now it just stopped shutting off. its on all da time.

 

i currently have the same problem with my JL amp. There should be a switch that says something like "signal sensing." Make sure it says on the "on" position. If it still stays on, you have internal problems. My amp has that same problem, i took it to a professional shop and it needed some fixing internally.

 

A simple test to see where the problem is , with ign. off, remove turn on lead on amp, if amp stays on problem is in amp, if amp turns off, problem is in HU , most common is a diode in HU has gone west,

You can remove HU for repair or move amp turn on from HU amp trigger wire to acc. ,[ same as HU red wire]

hope this helps 94

 

would that be the remote wire? that gets the signal from da cd player?

 

all we did on mine is we wired the remote wire to the winsheild wiper fuse by using a fues tap that u can get at any autoparts store for like 2 bucks that solved are problems. Good Luck

 

i unplugged the remote wire tho. and it still stays on when the car is off. it shold shut the amp off without the remote wire. soo... its the amp? if so how do i fix it?

 

YOU don't fix it. Ya gotta send it to a service center.

It depends on the service center. Call the amp manufacturer and ask for an estimate.
