Hi, im having problems with my setup.
first of all i will list my equipment

- Sony xplod deck
- MTX amp (280 watt)
- Rockford wired
- 2 12" Kenwood subs

now i just messaged PULOVR, but he appears to be offline right now so i am posting here...

whis happening, is that my amp stays on even after i shut off the car, which is obviously causing my battery to die....i need it to turn off, or is it something else that is causing my battery to be dead..? im pretty sure it is the amp, but please help me out!! thanks!!!

ur amp should turn off when ur deck turns off but then again sony makes gay decks

check your wiring again

it is def wired up wrong or somehow your deck is malfunctioning

for a fix you can wire it to the cig lighter circuit since it is switched and turns off when you turn off the car

haha... gay decks

your amp should have 3 power thingies.... + constant, - ground, + remote B.

+ constant goes with heavy duty wire, fused, and to the battery
- goes to a good ground
+ remote B goes to the deck power antenna wire or remote B wire (depening on deck).

Check to be CERTAIN you have a good ground. When my ground wasn't hooked up, my amp's LED was always on until I figured out my ground was the problem.

If its still a problem after all the sugesstions, take it to a shop, dont be afriad to, if you dont know what your doing, thats why they have shops and certified installers who know what there doing, there not out to rip ya off

i dont like sony decks, my buddy's deck just turns off when it feels. I've went thorugh the wiring over and over again, no signs of overheating or bad wiring, so i told him his deck is junk.

your remote wore that goes from the deck to the amp is wired tot he constant power wire on the deck............OR.....whoever did it for you simply ran the remote wire for the amp from the amp's positive wire...........OR........your amp remote wire and power wire are touching (this is a very common problem)

Damn you Yuli, you took the words right outta my mouth. Make sure that the power and remote wires arent touching, make sure your remote wire isnt just run off the power wire and make sure your remote wire is connected to the right wire in the deck harness.

Sorry, I was at work. I already gave you a detailed step by step explanation on what to check for, and also on how to fix it........the funny thing is, that it seems you already got the help you needed.


Hey, at least I check and respond to my pm's before I post *****.
