remote wire porblems
Saturday, July 30, 2005 12:53 PM
I have got 1 remote wire running from my radio and I sodered two amp wires to it one of the remotes goes striate to my 4 channel amp that powers my mids and tweeters, my second wire runs to a toggle switch so I can turn my sub off or on. my problem is I think I blew the toggle switch because of the load. any help, suggestions !

check for continuity on both sides of the switch. Make sure you get power on both sides before you do anything.

Theres not much current flowing through a remote wire at all... Something like 500 milliamps..

I doubt you burned out a switch with it.

I too highly doubt you fried a switch. Check to see if you are getting power through the switch.

If all else fails, and you would like to have an on/off switch for your subs, do what I do. Rather then running the "remote" wire from the HU to the amp with a switch inline, jsut put your switch on a 12v source. You can tap off 12 volts anywhere, put your switch, then run that to the remote input on the amp. Thats what I have always used and it works fine.


You're reading my line-break, you are a loser. Lurch <3's the c**k.

I will have to agree with this. Use the remote wire as the trigger for the relay, and run the fused 12v from the relay to the amp.
