OK, here are my issues. I can't get the power light to come on. I have changed the fuse and checked the amp with a voltage meter to make sure I have power running to it. Still nothing. I'm at a loss. Next, how can I tell is this amp is even going to be able to power a sub? Can I run my four 6X9's with my head unit (like they are now) and power a sub (or two) off this amp? Am I wasting my time with this old equipment and should I just buy some new stuff? What would you suggest I use as a sub (size, brand, cost, etc...) and amp if I were to buy new ones?
Thanks Chris! I can give you a call or you can give me a call at work if you'd prefer....
Here's my boat just so you have an idea of what I'm working with?

Pictures of the amp........ They are all in the Image Center if you need to blow them up for some more detail...

I'm not Roz...
...but do you have 12 volts to the remote, too? Speakers and RCAs hooked up correctly?
I wouldn't power subs with that amp...
No.....
I didn't know what that was for so I didn't want to put power to it without asking? What is that port for?
Thanks for the help!
Sorry for imposing on your thread, but I'm gonna run into the same issue as you "Frank The Tank" when I go to install my new equip. and figured I could learn something from this one.
ROZ & HH, the remote port is for the turn-on switch right? Should be getting a power signal from the ignition or head unit when it gets turned on...thus powering up the amp???
:idea:
-MOB
Oh yeah and.......
self-imposed Frank The Tank nickname?
That's awesome!
Yer....yer crazy man
I'm tired..
:sleeping:
hehe
The amp uses the power/ground to run the amp...
...but the remote wire is what turns it on. Most head units have a "REM" (or power antenna) wire coming out, which is +12 volts only when you switch the head unit on. It keeps the amp off until you need it.
I'll bet $1 you solved your problem.
Just got power. Thanks!!!!!
nice.
That helps me as well HH...thanks.

Wait til you guys get my bill...
Any help on all the other stuff HH? You know a lot more than I do about this topic!
What if I used all the power from this amp to only power one small sub? Is that possible while still powering my 6x9's off my head unit?
