test light or volt meter
what kind of power wire?(a power wire for an amp maybe) what kind of power wire?(a power wire for an amp maybe)
You may want to check fuses if there are any on your amp, the power wire ground wire and remote wire are the only things i can think of, might want to just ship it back if it is still under warranty. good luck
Why bypass amp just get wiring diagram and hook up remote"blue wire" to the remote lead from factory amp. Or unplug amp use a meter and check which wire has power. Then turn off radio and check wire again should have no power with radio off. This will only work if factory radio is still installed. But that wire would be remote wire. Just hook up new radio remote wire to the found wire. Then connect speakers to factory plugs and use the amp.
No because speaker wire does not have enough insulation to be safe for power.
Yes a remote wire is necessary. You must wire the remote wire from the amp to and ignition source of power (a component which turns on when the ignition in the car is engaged.) i.e. the radio. The remote wire signals for the amp to power on.
Since the resulting short circuit would be outside the amp, it WOULD NOT blow the amp.
Amp always on
the power suppy diode are probably shorted.
Run a 2 sub per amp set-up. Get a distribution block for you power wire to split the power wire. You can run the remote wire from your stereo to one amp and then from the amp to the other amp. you will also need 2 sets of RCA's Easy way is too get a 4 channel amp to power 4 subs.
put fuseable lin on the power wire that goes to the amp
What it is, is your power ant. wire is hooked to your remote(control) wire of the Amp.To fix this disconnect it and connect it to the remote(control) wire. If you dont have a output labeled as this connect it to the hot wire for the radio. (do not connect it the the constant hot wire there will be two different wires)
The RCA's from the amp will be arn to the CD player, then you need to connect the speaker's wire to the output + and - of the amp, this will cause the amp to have musical power from your radio, and the speakers to have the power from the amp..-Shocker
