Ground Wire Hook-up

MAKE SURE YOUR GROUND WIRE IS GROUNDED GOOD,,AND IT IS IMPORTENT TO HAVE YOUR REMOTE WIRE HOOKED UP. IT WILL BE A BLUE WIRE,,FIND THE HOT WIRE FOR YOUR TAIL LIGHTS AND HOOK IT THERE THEN WHEN YOU TURN YOUR CAR ON THE AMP WILL ALSO COME ON.THAT SHOULD STOP ALL THE NOISE AND POWER YOU UP.

Bad ground sounds like you may have paint or undercoating stopping the ground from making good contact or unhook the remote wire and run a small wire from the main power to the remote hook up and see if it works ...... May have a faulty remote

There sould be two post one for a positive and one for a ground, connect the wire from your battery to the positive, then run another wire from the cap to the amp. For the ground run a wire from your car body (the shorter the better) to the ground post on the cap, then you can run a ground from the cap to your amp OR you can run a ground from the car body to the amp (whichever may be easier for you) Remember to disconnect the ground from your battery before wiring, this will help prevent arching wires and damage to your system.

Hope this helps.

Generally if your amplifier goes into protect, you have a bad ground.
Unhook your power wire from the battery and trace your ground wire to the chassis of the vehicle. Strip the paint from the ground location, Put the ground wire back on the grounding location. Tighten the ground wire down securely with no play and hook back up your power wire.

Other cases revolve around the RCA cables.

Unplug the RCA's and see if the protect light goes off.
Plug one in and see if the protect light comes on and then the other.
If the protect light comes on, you have bad patch cables. Replace them and see if your issue is resolved.

If the amplifier was shorted, the system board made have been damaged.

If you have checked all the fuses.
Trace your ground wire that goes to the frame. It may be possible your ground is no longer grounded properly. You may just need to unhook the fuse from the battery, Unhook the ground wire from the chassis and restrip, put on a new connector, chisel off the paint around where the amp was grounded to and tighten it back down. Hook back up your fuse to the battery and check and see if it removes the protect light.
Also check to make sure your RCA cables aren't bad. If the RCA cables ground it'll put the amp into protect mode too. Basically just switch out the RCA cables for a good pair.
If the remote wire on the amp is touching the ground, it'll throw the protect light too. That's pretty much the extent, unless the amp has a short inside it.

Hope this helps!

Generally if an amp goes straight into protection, the amp is not grounded well enough. Either you should find a new location to ground the amp to or unhook the power wire from the battery, remove the ground wire from the chassis of your vehicle. Strip the paint from the chassis, since it doesn't conduct electricity, and remove any corrosion or copper shielding from the ground connector. reground to a solid metal location Can be grounded to the brace behind the back seat or to the seat belt bolt for best results.
An amp draws a lot of power, there it needs to be grounded well.
Hook back up your power wire to the battery and see if your issue is resolved.

There is no 'ground' ... the car is the common ground. You are truing to hool the starter to the hot battery. The starter must be connected to the start solenoid (starter sice).

Please go to the library and look at a Motors Manual. If you keep stabbing at this, you will get seriously hurt. Batatery coule explode ... starter might actually start the engine while you are working on it.

Get more information on this before you get hurt.

positive (1 guage) from main battery to second battery positive terminal. hook all amps positive to second battery and hook 2nd battery ground to frame of car (where amp is now grounded) if you have a 2nd battery a cap is a waste of money. make sure all grounds (battery and amps) are together on same ground point of car, do not ground amps to battery - ground everything to 1 spot on the frame or body of the car ! - yes you can pigtail remote leads.

connect speaker wiring for car to speaker wire side. plug the rca's into the amp ground the ground wire. run a live from the battery to the power on the crossover and run the remote wire to the blue (iso connector) wire coming from the back of the radio

First of all, you MUST HOOK UP YOUR GROUND WIRE FIRST. You may have damaged it if you hooked your power and trigger wire first and then the ground wire. Unhook EVERYTHING except the hot wire, ground wire and trigger wire. If you still can't get the unit to come on then it is time for a trip to the repair shop. Good luck.
