Default sterio people..

just put another 6 months tax on the car, so put the sterio back ion..

thing is, the second amp which runs off of the first isnt coming on.. checked the fuse, all fine, pout batt to batt, so that should be ok, cant think what else?

there is a REM wire, does this go #to the P-Con on the first amp?

thanks

It's not ideal mate you should have your power cable to the boot and a distribution block then feed the amps from the distribution block.

Pics of the install on my RST Perhaps I should have taken some before removing it all.

nice

gone for the weight reduction now then...

Any ideas as to why the second amp isnt switching on? i swear i seeing the light on it light up earlier tho.. sounds weird, but i cant remember not sure if i imagined it

ccant think what else it would be.. doesnt need GRD as this will be GRD from the first amp..

Give each amp it's own ground cable to the same Earth point.

Have you tried to wire the second amp on it's own? My PowerSlide used to need a really good Earth to operate.

You need a seperate earth for each amp and a distribution block too.
