amp remote lead??

[AlexB]

im having a problem with my amp(s)
ive got 2 wired up
with a bit of speaker cable as a remote rather than the bit in the rca lead
this goes to 1 amp (1000w xplod) and is bridged to the other (600w t1 audio)

but when the ingnition is off only the xplod turns off

im quite baffled
as if the xplod is being turned off the t1 should as its bridged from it

any ideas??

could use some help as flat battery keeps pissing me off lol

[Mark51]

have you wired it up to the remote connection on the headunit? it sounds as iff you've just wired it up to the live.

[AlexB]

its on the remote mate

thats why the xplod turns off
i wanna no wot could cause 1 amp to and 1 to stay on when they share the same remote

any ideas?

[Roper]

you have wired it up wrong !

[AlexB]

any ideas what bits wrong?

[Predator_R32]

make sure the wires on the other amp arent touching eachother mate, any tray strands for the remote could mean its touching the power and therefore not switching off

[AlexB]

i hadnt thort about that
ill have a look n see
if not though any other ideas?

Wire them up properly, 2 seperate RCA's and power cables.

And make sure they dont run alongside each other, to avoid feedback.

[Predator_R32]

any news ???

[AlexB]

the remote is not anywere near to the power lead
so im quite baffled

to every1 saying wire them right ther all seperate power and rcas its just the remote lead done as a bridge as the crappy little 1s in the rca got pulled out whilst feeding them through the car

[Predator_R32]

ooso you have the power linked from one amp to the other???

[Mark51]

^^ sounds like it pred.

pics of the amp set up would help mate or do them on paint

[AlexB]

ive got 1 power wire into my boot
a fused distribution block splitting to the amps
2 seperate rcas from my headunit to the boot
and a single remote lead to my 1000w amp
and the remote is the only thing thats bridged to the 600w
there on seperate earths aswell

[Predator_R32]

could simply be down to the amp being faulty mate

try it on the power lead the otehr amp is on and see if it turns off, or try it in a mates car

[AlexB]

allright man
ill have a play tomorrow
see what i can get

[AlexB]

i think my amp is fubar
i was trying some bits earlier
and with everything connected except the remote lead
my amp still switches on
and wont turn off
but it shouldnt even come on without a signal from the remote right?

[Keefo]

yeah, sounds broke, it should NOT turn on without anything connected to the remote

[Predator_R32]

yeah sounds a bit fooked mate, take it to a repair shop and see what they can do for you, in most cases its best to just sell the amp as faulty as a lot of people on ebay will buy them and fix them up

then you can just buy another one

[AlexB]

yea i have been thinking of drooping to some less bassy 6x9s (i no u dont like them)
and getting a smaller amp
as im running pretty low wattage comps compared to the subs so the 6x9s add the midrange im missing

[Predator_R32]

arghhhhhhhhhhhhh :p

get some three way components, would need builds but bloody awesome:p

[AlexB]

im too lazy to do builds
i had some vibe components but when i wired them in nothing worked
was quite gutted tbh
