Amp turning off
what wires needed to be connected for the amp to stay on..
when i hook up the remote power and group and rca cable it turns on. then after like 20 secs the amp turns off. then when i move around the rca cable it turns back on..
can it be a bad rca wire shuttin the amp off

Re: Amp turning off (xoutlawz00x)
Are your RCA's grounding out against anything? Each other? Thats what it sounds like. Check out your ground as well. And make sure the Remote wire has 12v and not less than 10.

Re: Amp turning off (xoutlawz00x)
your wires are faulty OR as you've already been told you have a cold solder joint. wires are easy to fix but if it's the cold solder joint, you have to disassemble the amp and re-solder whatever joint is faulty. Usually not worth it.
