right tackled this today teed into the rears went to fire up and nothing no power going to my amp :s i think it is a ground problem so was wondering if anybody can tell me where they put there ground on the car?????
cheers!

The earth i put into a bolt under the spare wheel which is connected to the body, Might be a stupid question but have you A) connected the power to the battery? B) checked the fuse near to the battery, C) turned the amp volume up?

cheers fella ill be putting it there first thing in the morn yup live is fine and fuse just getting nothing to the amp cause the only thing i could find near was bolted it to the back of the seat as i couldnt find anything on the body but cheers st essex for the piccy hopefully finally be up and running tomo

ahhhhhh this is driving me mad now its earthed properly still no power to my amp i bought another power lead and wired it outside the car just to see if thats the fault and still the amp was lifeless im thinking now either the amp is dud which shouldnt be as its brand new or a remote fault i presumed that the 5th wire on the rca converter is a remote out but ive just bought another 1 from halfrauds and the 5th wire on there says earth :S can anybody help me out on this?????
cheers!

My remote comes straight from the amp not the RCA convertor. Not sure if there is an option for that on your amp? Does your amp come with a fuse already in it or do you have to put your own in?

Sounds like a remote prroblem - take some cable and send it from the mains input on the amp into remote input - see if you get any life out of it

my amp has it's on fuse it's a kicker amp and sub just tried linking the live and remote together and it worked yay! but now I need to find away to wire the remote lead
thanks for all your help so far

its defo the remote

yup defo the remote so all i gotta do now is find sumwhere to run the remote to power the amp on and off :S lol then whens thats done i will be 1 happy chappy

cant help u on that one

couple of people have said wire the remote from the amp into the fuse box but i cant see how that can be done as theres just fuse terminals i take it you got rid of the factory head unit and used a aftermarket as they have a remote out lol

yes mate had the same prob as u have so just went and bought a sony unit

To run it off the fuse box you just Tee into the wire that comes out of the back of the fuse. Use the small of the 2 audio fuses as that turns on and off with ignition. You will have to remove the glove box and unscrew the fuse box to make it more accesable.

lol i gotta keep the standard plus i quite like it i recken i haveto go down the road and pay a massive bill and get it done at a shop which wasent the route i wanted to go cause of the time ive spent onit and i dont like getten defeated
