hi all, i'm running some of my hifonics viii amps in my new system but the problem i'm having is the current draw on the remote turn on of all things!

i have a pg dd10 to turn them on and this is supposed to able to turn 5 amplifiers on with each output, i know it works ok as i had 5 amps im my old car off it...

it appears to be only certain amps i have the problem with, i know how to test for amp draw so will do this later but how could i correct the problem? it's happening on a boltar and colossus.

currently i have one wired up to the accessory output remote to turn on which has fixed the problem but not ideal....

many thanks mark.
 
tried 4 series viii amps and 3 are drawing 0.003A or it might have been 0.03A can't remember!

the colossus drew a little more but nothing silly, i get interior light dimming when it turns on too.

i'm lost as to why the dd10 struggles to turn my boltar and zeus on but is ok if i swap the boltar for a thor then they turn on ok :confused: all remotes pull the same current, the dd10 is rated for 500ma per output so more than enough...
