Im lost without the PW thread!!!!

It's always 1 knob, 1 switch, or 1 wire

I wired up a system to find that I landed the wrong wire to the ignition...searched for quite a while before I found it

Relay is my guess too Bryce. My brother had a hell of a time getting all his amps to turn on until he put in a relay.

Im ready to lube up the new vinyl with my sauce

That is just wrong in so many ways Bryce.....

And its always the last one

I got the amp rack in the boat this morning, all wired up ready to mount. I turned the key on, and the new CMD6 radio comes on, but the amps wouldnt turn on, but the ws-420 did. So I cut the wires and just hooked one syn4 to the remote wire of the HU. Still nothing. I called Chp and he thought a relay would fix the problem. I figured the damn HU would at least turn on 1 amp so I must have a bigger problem

Whats the voltage level on the distri-block?

Relay was my guess to when I called Chp. But since I cut the remotes apart. and just tried to get one amp to get a green light, and it wouldnt makes me think its something else.

If the head will not turn on only one amp wired to the turn-on, then a relay is not the solution. Sounds like the battery voltage is too low or there is no voltage or ground to the amps. He has a distri-block with a volt gauge, so that will tell us something.

The head unit was on, and the ws-420 lit up for starters, and no amps got a light. So after we got off the phone, I cut the wires apart, and wired 1 syn4 to the remote turn on and still nothing from the amp, although the HU was on

distro was saying 12.4 volts

Just a dab and I could probably stick my truck in a doghouse

Thats more then enough for the Syn-4's to power up. I would get a volt meter right on the amps battery lugs and measure the B+, GND and the voltage level of the turn-on wire.

I will do that first thing tomorrow and see what I come up with. How many watts should the remote show to get it to turn on?

Is it wrong to have tax paper work and a gun sitting next to each other?!?

Cleaning house and its where they ended up, thought it was kinda funny
