No power to amp when playing a disc

Fonzarelli · 6th October 2011, 06:10 PM

Hey guys

Hoping someone could shead some light on an issue I'm having. Up until 2 days ago my amp and sub where working 100%, now for some reason if I try play a disc the power to my amp cuts off, but if I play the radio everything works great.

Any idea as to why this would happen?

Thanks
Fonzarelli

That happens if the head unit has two remote wires and the amp is connected to the power antenna wire instead of the remote turn-on wire.

Have you recently re-wired anything?

Thanks for the reply.

That's the weird part, none of the wires were touched. It was literally working the 1 day and the next it wasn't

Like Perry said.. Also, the blue wire is only for antenna control, the blue/white stripe wire is for power amp control.
