Did your amp fail, then got repaired and you didn't change the ground so it failed again?

I'll have an answer for you guys in a week or so on whether i'm upgrading or not. I've been researching a few amps, Kicker Warhorse, MTX Thunder Elite 4k, SAZ-4500d..

I know stuff lol But yoouuuu guys should really make me a dual bracket

Thread jack, Kylie whats the biggest alt you have for a 92 Chevy S10 2.8l v6 ? Is it still a 320amp?

I wondered what happened to this thread, looks good.

Lookin' good brotha

Lazy ass.. get to the updates!

PDX series amp, found on ebay

Okay, I'll do that today, thank you Jacob. From what it sounds like, do you think it's going to be under warranty?

I believe it's the slave amp, because it seems to be back feeding therefore turning my master amp on once I connect the 2 using a short rem. I took a DMM and measured the voltage coming off the rem for the slave amp, it was at 9-7 then 6-4 then 3-1 then went back up. At whose expense would the amp be shipped to db-r then repaird?

Swapping out for one of those? It'd have to be 2 of them, and they are sexy. I've seen em done in Marks SUV, he likes them. All depends on how the situation goes with Jacob and I with the problem. If it's something that is a manufacture defect but it doesn't get covered under warranty, i'm cutting my losses and going with a different company.

MTX Thunder Elite 4k? hmmmmmmm...

yeah once i get it all going, still need to get my alt's and batt's What other equipment you going to run?

Pitbull, you going to make a build log?

Okay, as soon as i connected the rem wire to the slave amp, both amps turned on (before i turned on HU or had key in ignition) I turned on the Head Unit, amps stayed on.. I turned off the Head Unit and took my key out, amps stayed on.

Both amps turned guys.

That would help me, and i will do that.. after i figure out why one of my amps turn on when it isn't connected to the radio by a rem wire. I'm not being hard headed and saying I shouldn't do that to figure out why it wasn't turning on and why the voltage on the rem wire is 005.. i already know that.. i want to find out why my master amp will turn on when its not connected to the radio by a rem wire. The only thing i have connecting the amp to the head unit is RCAs.. but when i connect amps together with the rem wire my master amp turns on.. when its not even connected to the head unit

Dude, no that is impossible BECAUSE THERE IS NO REM WIRE COMING FROM THE RADIO TO THE AMP! NONE AT ALL! I unplugged the rem wire from the radio and just left a 4 inch rem wire connecting both amps. I could throw the radio out the window and the amp will still turn on because there is NO REM WIRE COMING FROM THE RADIO TO THE AMP. I said this many times. I'm not meaning to be an asshole towards you or anything Ulrisa, i'm trying to make things clear. I don't know if i'm being blind and missing something here, but it doesn't seem like anyone is understanding what i'm saying..

hahah you pay for shipping

Why would redoing my headunit remote wire stop my master amp from turning on when the head unit is OFF? That's what I want to STOP from happening and redoing a wire from my headunit isn't going to help that. It has nothing to do with my head unit, the amp is getting power without the head unit on, the head unit isn't even connected to the amps in anyway besides the rcas and it turns on? There is something wrong with something, I'm not going to just redo my remote wire from my head unit until I fix it, that's ignorant.. I want to fix the problem and then redo my remote wire. Is the sole problem was my amps weren't turning on, then yes, okay that makes sense 100 percent to redo my remote wire.

Doesnt mean he is the only one who can help you out, if thats the case then just email him. But others are trying to help you out as well, good luck with getting your problem solved. You are right, he's not the only one.. but he is someone that can help.

Correct, for the most part.. The master only turns on. Go get a relay Dom and start over from the deck with your remote wire. Wire it up just like I said above. A 30 amp relay is like $2.50. Thats where I would start I'll get one, that doesn't explain the issues though, no head unit power, no key on power, no more the 1 remote for both amps, connecting both amps, master amp turns on the second the remote wire touches the rem input on the amp. I'm confused and frusterated, I have a competition coming up and with the holidays I rarely have time to work on my trucks audio.

I called Alpine and they said the amount of remote wires is fine. It's not a fuse problem, when I connect the amps together with the remotre wire it sends some sort of poer or signal so the master turns on I suppose, I've never ever heard about or read about a problem like I'm having. My system is pretty straight forward, not a fuck ton of wires everywhere like other high powered systems. I've checked the voltage on my batts, remote wire on every amp, the remote wire for my mono block was 005, obvs that's not suppose to be like that, I've realised that, I haven't had time to tear my dash apart to tighten up the connection on that. What has me lost is, why isn't my slave amp powering on anymore like it's suppose too and what kind of power or signal is happening to make my master amp turn on while the remote wires are connected, while there is no key in my ignition, therefore the head unit is not on, nor any other key on power. I've been waiting for Jacob to help me out on these questions, since he is the one who owns the company and would know the solution.
