did you hook up the remote or power wires 2 the first amp or run a complete set from the battery and back of the head unit?

mark · 19-06-2005, 12:53 PM

yea i get this, and i split the remote and power.. i'll be watching this topic..
i just learnt to live with the pop..

ILITR8 · 19-06-2005, 02:50 PM

i have used the remote, power and rca's (which i got the adapters to split them) from the first amp and i ran a seperate ground. it is the amp that was in first thats makin the noise.

could this f**k my subs in anyway?

mark · 19-06-2005, 04:15 PM

yea its not good, but it won't kill them anytime soon

go to jaycar/**** smith and buy 2x IN4004 rectifier didoes, put one on each remote wire connection to each amp with the white band facing the amp.
i.e
head unit remote line ---[ I]---- amp remote terminal

do this on both amps this will only allow the 12v to travel from the head unit to the amp. not sometimes if you have 2 amps sharing a common rem line there can be a little bit of a spike coming back out the line when one of the amps turns off before the other, causing the amp to stay on for a split second too long.

so, are we supposed to be running seperate remotes from the headunit?
how do we do that?
mine split off them go to each amp.. and i'm guessing Ilitr8 is the same.

ILITR8 · 20-06-2005, 12:28 PM

yeah i have 1 main wire then it splits into 2

It sounds like a cheap amp that doesn't have soft power on/off. I've never had any drama's looping my remote turn on to multiple amps.

gex · 21-06-2005, 08:20 AM

you can run your remote from amp to amp (not much current there). but dont run your rca's with your power wires, that'll create noise. 2 seperate earth's and 2 seperate b+.
