I am running two different amplifiers in my car. One is 1000w max (300 RMS x 2 @ 4ohms) and the other is 300w max (50 RMS x 2 @ 4ohms). When I connect the REM turn-on wire (2 REM wire from amp, to 1 wire from the head unit), 1 will work but the other shuts-off. The higher wattage amp most likely to shut off. Does anybody know why this happen? Everything is connected right. (4Ga power/ground wire, fuse/distribution block, 1.5F Cap) Did made sure everything is connected right but thats the only problem I have.
(The king) I did that but the thing is that only one amp turns on (lowest watt) and the other (higher watt) does not. It seem to be that all the power was going to the lower wattage.
I also tested just connecting one at the time and both amps work except when they are both connected to (1) REM lead, only one works.
Any suggestions on the relay? I would really rather do it myself. Would a 30 amp be enough? And where would you normally tap it? Cig Lighter, or Head units 12 volt?
believe it or not,an amplifier does need a certain amount of current to turn on.will the bigger amp turn on with the remote connected only to it?could be that you deck isnt putting out enough voltage through the remote lead.have a car audio shop install a "remote turn on relay". current from your turn-on lead will switch the relay open so that it can be hooked up to a more powerfull source,,i.e,battery.and since the relays is activated by your remote wire,your amp will still power down when the deck is turned of.
