When you turn your car radio to the aux function or the CD function it shuts your amp off but it works when its on the radio?

The problem you're having is an easy mistake. The wire you're connected to is not the remote wire for an amp. This wire you're connected to is used for a power radio antenna. That's why it's turning off the amp whenever you leave the radio.


What is the remote wire for car stereos purpose?

It runs from your deck to the amplifier. When the deck turns on, it sends a low voltage signal to the amp to let the amp know to turn on. If you are running an amp on a stock stereo, there are other ways to turn the amp on without a remote wire, but that's the easiest way. So, simple answer, it turns your amp on when the stereo comes on.

Wire the subwoofer to and AMP and the amp has to be directly hooked up to your battery. There is a second wire that is hooked up to a wire that only has power when the keys are turned. This turns the Amp on by turning on a relay in the amp powering the sub. And connect the ground to something steel in the car.

Why does my Car subwoofer produce no sound?

I have a mutant CD player, Sony xplod 800w subwoofer and a SPLX 800 amplifier. These are all connected, I have power and ground connected, the lights are lit up on the amplifier. Also the subwoofer has "life", I can hear when it turns on and off, but no sound is played through it when I put music on. Is this a problem with the CD player headunit or the connection from that to the amp? Thanks!


How does a car works?

First, you will accelerate the car by turning on the key. When the key turns, the turned key, which is a sensor, accelerates the motor. If the motor accelerates, and turns eventually, it would turn the cylindrical metal shaft which is connected to the rear end of the axle which will turn the wheel, and ultimately, the ground. This is the way it moves.
